Rural communications in India using fixed cellular radio systems

Seventy-five percent of India's population is in rural villages, yet almost 90 percent of the country's phones are in urban sites. The authors propose a fixed cellular radio system, combined with the existing mobile network, as a cost effective way to extend telecommunications services to India's rural areas.<<ETX>>
