Remote Indigenous Media Content on local WiFi Mesh Servers

Project Name: Remote Indigenous Media Content on local WiFi Mesh Servers

Funding Recipient: Pilbara and Kimberley Aboriginal Media (PAKAM)

Activity: Pilbara and Kimberley Aboriginal Media (PAKAM) will utilise new WiFi Mesh systems that are being rolled out in remote Indigenous communities by the West Australian Government and Australian Private Networks as a pioneering distribution platform for culturally relevant audiovisual content. They will install servers in each community holding a diverse collection of Indigenous produced video and audio content from the PAKAM community archive, including language and cultural stories, music and documentaries. They will also design a user interface and content management system that allows residents free and unlimited access to navigate and contribute to the management of the local service. This initiative aims to empower residents, bridge digital divides, and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Australia’s Indigenous communities.
