Assumptions

What is the size of a Village Telco?
In order to make design decisions, we needed to create a picture of a prototypical Village Telco. We decided to design to the following:


 * Geography that the Village Telco should cover: about 9 square kilometres
 * Target number of VOIP clients: 1000
 * Target number of data clients: 100
 * Simultaneous calls supported: 50
 * Maximum number of hops: 3
