Let's find out what LokaLTE is

The LokaLTE of Project REIINN is an initiative dedicated to both developing and establishing small-scale, community-based LTE towers, also known as Community Cellular Networks (CCNs). This project focuses on utilizing technology to enhance educational support for students and schools in underserved or remote areas throughout the Philippines.

By building Community Cellular Networks (CCNs) that provide access to the internet and other educational resources, we hope to empower students and schools in the Philippines to improve their knowledge and skills, and to support their academic success. We believe that education is a key driver of progress and prosperity, and we are committed to using our expertise in technology and engineering to support educational initiatives and make a positive impact on communities in the Philippines.

Pilot Sites

Pilot sites play a crucial role in the development and implementation of the REIINN project. By testing and refining the program at selected locations, valuable feedback and data are gathered, aiding in the improvement and optimization of the program for wider deployment. Pilot sites enable the team to carefully evaluate the effectiveness of our project in real-world settings and make any necessary adjustments before rolling it out on a larger scale. 

We believe that pilot sites are an essential part of the development process, and we are dedicated to working closely with our pilot site partners to ensure that our project is as successful as possible.
