Demo paper title: Bringing Programmable Low-End Networks to Life: A Field Study with An Off-the-Shelf Prototype
Abstract: This demo session paper presents a simple and affordable prototype that could open the doors to mitigate digital segregation in technologically marginalized populations. Converging software-defined networks (SDN) with programmable data planes (PDP), our approach allows the customization of low-cost hardware according to the network designed. We integrate low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), known for their scalability and efficiency, with PDPs to propose a flexible solution for changing requirements, such as distance and terrain configurations, validated through real-world test scenarios.
