Folks in Mawilachchiya,

Beware of Dinosorus! You guys are being mentioned repeatedly in ICT week’s proceedings and Dino is not at all happy about this. He will be marking time to devour you all.

Revantha,

When you do to Mahavilachchiya take Dino also with you.

Two of you are the ones who said this could never be done.

Now ETPL and Mahavilachchiya kids have proved you and Dino were wrong.

Hope this would have been a good lesson for you and Dino…

Thoppi welenda,

You are correct!! Revantha is the supehero of the mesh. Great!!!

He was the one who got the fund for this project. He was the one who designed this mesh. He was the one who fighted with the TRC and finally got approvals for the project. He was the one who imported equipment. He was the one who went to Mahavilachchiya and did all the implementations. He was the one who involved with this project from its inception to the end, faced lot of difficulties and finally completed it successfully.

GREAT WORK REVANTHA!!! WELL DONE!!!

THOPPI WELENDA, YOU ARE A HERO TOO!!!

GREAT WORK GUYS!!!

GO & COLLECT THE MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD!!!

GO AHEAD!!! YOU HAVE A VERY GOOD FUTURE!!!

Revatha is the superhero in mesh project. Without him, implementors would have simply forgotten the whole affair as they had done so for years. But when Reantha played an explosive innings on the blog, everyone got startled anc completed the project. Hats off to Revantha for a brave job. Ultimately, Revantha is “the man of the match” in the project.

This is great news. I can imaging how Willachchiya will now transform into a knowledge village thanks to the succes of this proejct.

Eventhough I have not visited MV since I went there 3 years ago, I keep continous relationships with peopel concerned and as per credible sources the MESH is in action live now. I still remember 3 years ago the Horizon Prize giving took place under a tree but was organized in such manner which is simmilar in terms of presentation in Oscars. Everything was handled professionally by the ever hardworking team and all the kids.

Imagine with these technologies in place they can take their innovative ideas, content to their success stories to other parts of the country and also in to the developing world. They can play many roles now in content development to other. Who knows MV will become a BPO destination at least for some internal work in future. And am confident there will be many professionals coming out from MV thanks to all the technological advancements and more than that connectivity to the internet.

I hope the government and other relavant authorities will replicate such technology in other villages. However, in my opinion we need a strong village champion as well to make all this a success and also to face numerous obstacles/critisizm coming from various individuals to organizations.

Also, am sure constructive critisizm is essential rathern than the opposit to take challenging projects forward and make them realities rather than faliures.

Admin,

Since this blog is more on mesh in Mahavilachchiya than Dharamsala, can you change the topic, like you did it with ICT Myths … to Standarsizing Sinhala

Not only mesh, even Dialog is going to cover Mahavilachchiya with a base station according to the news. Long live the blog as someone else said. Looks like Mahavilachchiya is going to be a Syllican valley soon with these infrastructure …. …. Hope Sam Sung doesnt get a heart attack by hearing this.

Revantha is not the catalyst of this project bro. as we know, he was the person who always criticized this project to ruin it from its inception (criticizing is his main job role; he has nothing do in his company other than criticizing what others do) . This type of people can talk a lot about the failures of the projects implemented by the competitors but they can’t even tell a single word about what they have done useful to our Sri Lankan Society.

Second thing; It’s a big joke that a person who “fails to understand how an Low Gain Omini Directional Antenna mounted on a central site and a Directional Antenna mounted on subscriber could work in tandem” , tries to evaluate a wireless project which he has not involved with at all!!

Anyway, it seems that his “MYTHICAL NON-EXISTING MESH PROJECT” (as revantha call) has become a reality at Mahavilachchiya now.

Thx to the guys whoever actually involved with this project to get it done!! Hope this type of projects will be replicated in the other rural areas as well.

Jehan, my dear Bro,

There are some guys in our society who give only BIIIIG BIG TALKS. What they can do is just talking and writing bla, bla, blaaaa….(not the media ppl!!). They can’t do anything worthwhile to the society and contribute something useful to this wonderful world.

Guys, any more updates about mahavilachchiya mesh??

Jehan,

On the contrary I think Revantha too was part of the gang who did not want to see this project see the light of the day, for reasons better known to them.

Being employed in a competitor networking firm, Revantha was not ready to accept that ETPL could do a project like this which his own company could never do. It was professional jealousy, nothing else which made Revantha to bad mouth about this project.

ICTA, ETPL and Mahavilachchiya kids have beaten all of them by successfully implementing the mesh network. Three cheers to them all!!!

May be Rehantha was the catalist of the project. Mesh became a reality due to Rev’s storng comments in this blog. Long live the blog. Long live Samarajiva.
