“You know that person that makes the magic happen behind the scenes, that's Jaco. Jaco has exceptional software development skills and always a pleasure to work with. It was a while back, but I worked with Jaco on a project during the FIFA Soccer World Cup in 2010 at the cellular network, MTN South Africa. South Africa hosted the world cup that year, and it was crucial that the cellular network was performing, and key KPIs could easily be monitored, especially at stadiums during live matches. A near real time dashboard was developed showing all this information, where Jaco was key lead in writing some very slinky backend java software that made this all possible. Jaco is passionate about software development, has technical attention to detail, and I appreciated how he shared new trends with the team. As a peer he was always happy to assist with a technical issue you may be facing, seeking a solution with you if required. ”

MOSAIC 2B is a European research project aiming to develop and test a new framework that uses cloud-based applications, innovative low-cost internet delivery mechanisms (delay tolerant networks and opportunistic communications) and affordable mobile technologies to unlock new mobile business opportunities, especially in rural villages. A consortium of European and South African partners builds upon the use case of mobile digital cinemas to run real life experiments demonstrating and evaluating the technological and economic viability of according innovations.
In essence MOSAIC 2B delivers a combination of mobile digital cinemas for edutainment (educational content and entertainment), mobile business and consumer services as well as visual analytics and interactive tools to obtain real-time knowledge of on-going processes, to support decision making, and to increase business opportunities. Ultimately the business case of South African micro entrepreneurs delivering edutainment to rural consumers serves as a showcase for broad based economic activities at the bottom of the economic pyramid in the developing world. Adapted innovative services at affordable cost offer sustainable access to new markets on a global scale to the benefit of underserviced populations, local and European service providers.Other creatorsSee project
