Abstract

Indonesia is among the most suffering countries due to Covid-19 pandemic. The government is still challenged to manage the delivery of Covid-19 related information since many of inhabitants living in rural islands. This aims to offer low cost and simple solution for government in delivering Covid-19 information in rural islands without adequate telecommunications infrastructure. The technical solution is based on Raspberry Pi technology called RyO (Raspberry Outernet) Kit. We examined RyO Kit based on four parameters namely signal strength, signal quality, bit rate and quota. Final results confirmed RyO Kit is appropriate solution to deal with the issue.
