Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my network data matter?
Data is essential in bridging the school connectivity divide. Connectivity data offers a unique insight to understanding connectivity needs, opportunities and challenges, and this in turn supports more efficient and targeted public and private internet roll-out.
Why should I share my data?
In sharing your ISP data and knowledge you will be:
What information about my ISP will be made public?
Only information that your organization explicitly consents to for public use will be made public. At the moment, the only information we would like to display is your name and/ or logo to recognize your contribution on the Giga ISP site. This is, however, optional.
How will Giga use, store and protect my network data?
The data you share will be used solely for research purposes by the Giga team only. Raw network and organizational data will be stored in UNICEF’s secure cloud storage solution accessible only to Giga, in accordance with UNICEF and ITU security policies. Access to all systems is duly restricted and controlled.
What methods and tools does Giga use for data sharing?
We want to make the sharing experience as easy as possible. We also want to maintain the integrity of your data. While Giga is open to exploring different ways in which you can share your school connectivity data, Giga is already using APIs successfully. APIs offers seamless and safe integration between your systems and ours. With well-documented endpoints and standardized communication protocols, we can eliminate manual data transfers, gaining a near real-time understanding of school connectivity.
What kind of network data does Giga require and why?
We aim to collect data that will help us define a fair, robust and transparent way to represent school connectivity. To get there, we are systematically analyzing and experimenting with different types of network data, with the objective of identifying the measurement points that offer the most realistic and robust insight into school connectivity status. At the moment, we are looking for network measurements for schools taken at the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) level, but feel free to share data taken across other points on your network, if applicable. An example of the data we will request is included below.
