Digital Information Content Platform for Sustainable Education and Disaster Resilience with Telecommunications Network-Assisted Remote Monitoring and Management

The constant endeavor to advance mobile technology and broaden educational access has highlighted the digital poverty and digital divide across regions of the Philippines. This study focuses on the redevelopment of the Ateneo Innovation Center Education Cloud, introducing a telecommunications component for internet connectivity and a remote administrator interface. These enable non-service affecting content updates and software maintenance, minimizing resource-intensive physical interventions. The research evaluates the performance of 5G and LTE networks, server data transfer, throughput, and satellite infrastructure, to assess the platform's adaptability relative to terrestrial and non-terrestrial network conditions. Predeployment environment tests revealed a range of connectivity levels, from robust indoor coverage with −66 dBm 5G and −76.7 dBm LTE signal power to outdoor coverage-only areas with at least −120 dBm signal strength. Server data transfer reached a peak data capacity of 3.92 GB, with a mean throughput of 556 Mbps. Satellite network speeds ranged from 94 Mbps to 166 Mbps. The system's usability within diverse environment and varying network performance, remote-control capabilities, and compatibility with Starlink internet, prove the platform's viability and scalability as a multi-functional information distribution system for community knowledge transfer and disaster resilience, effectively reaching underserved regions in the Philippines.
