Abstract

The paper identifies the state of telecommunication’s services and its growth cum economic relevance in Nigeria, while proffering a cost-effective and less problematic telephone network that is readily affordable and available to the poverty-stricken populace predominant in rural areas. The design and implementation of an efficient, robust network based on existing Global Satellite for Mobile communication) cum Code Division Multiple Access, as means to cater and provide for telecommunications in rural Delta State in Nigeria. A major hinderance to the provision of such services/facilities in rural area for decades, has been the high operational cost and little profit margins. Thus, the robust network aims to create an effective, affordable option for such rural and semi-urban settler; while on the part of operators, a system with minimal cost to implement, deploy and maintain for Delta State Senatorial District in Delta State, Nigeria, is used as the case study to test-run the analysis and design of such a novel cellular network.
