	The second main test is the Internet Services Provision, through the use of Wi-Fi technologies. Wireless Access Points were installed in Manhiça and Chócwe Telecentres, so that clients using homebrew antennas can point to it and gain access to the Internet, by sharing the same connection as the Telecentre to its ISP.

	During the testing phase the team mounted a workshop at the university premises, in which the homebrew antennas were manufactured and tested. This workshop was planned to be replicated in the Industrial Institute of Maputo, with the collaboration of the Ministry of Education, in order to provide students with tools that will allow them to manufacture the above-mentioned antennas. Unfortunately this was not implemented duo to some internal constrains on the disposal of the IMM facilities including access to the local prosy server.

	To guaranty the successfully implementation of the project and a share of lessons learned, the research team participated as a member of a regional research network that shared the challenges and lessons learned with other members. Sharing avenues were created such as workshops, teleconferences, e-mail discussion lists.

	In case the tests reveal again that it not possible the voice communication over the 64kbps lines, the team has considered studying and implementing a different design, based on the concept of store and forward. Such solution will consist of independent asterisk servers running on the Telecentres proxy servers, instead of the centralized solution. It means that some mechanisms to allow one server to forward a voice massage in case it is not for a local destination should be identified.
