  Optimizing DVB-T2 Deployment Strategies to Bridge Rural and Urban Digital Inequality through Cost-Effective Infrastructure Planning and Inclusive Broadcast Access Models
  Author(s): Olarewaju Peter Ayeoribe*
  
  Rural–urban digital inequality continues to constrain inclusive urban–regional development, particularly where broadband penetration remains uneven. Recent telecommunications data indicate that while urban internet access exceeds 75–85% in many developing regions, rural connectivity often remains below 40%, creating disparities in access to education, governance information, and emergency communication services. This study investigates how optimized Digital Video Broadcasting–Second Generation Terrestrial (DVB-T2) deployment strategies can reduce this gap through cost-effective infrastructure planning and inclusive broadcast access models. Using propagation modeling, geographic information systems (GIS), and cost–benefit analysis, the research evaluates single frequency network (SFN) configurations across mixed rural–urban territories.
