OpenCellular is an open source hardware and software project designed by
Facebook that aims to bring a more affordable wireless access platform to
remote areas through utilising the benefits of open source on access
technologies. The workshop will bring together the OpenCellular ecosystem,
which includes the open-source developer community, mobile network
operators, OEMs and regulators for a discussion on connectivity.

This event is for anyone who is interested in rural connectivity. We
strongly encourage MNOs, regulators, regional operators, entrepreneurs and
vendors to attend. We also recommend that researchers and students from
universities and research labs attend. There is lot to learn and contribute
to the OpenCellular project.

The workshop is free and open for everyone however, it requires
