Extending UNIMAS PingER hosts monitoring
They have remote sites in Kelabit Highlands in Barrio. There is a wireless network. the hosts are solar powered. They could install an ePinger host and ping from Unimas via the VSAT connection. Could be a month or two to set the host at Bario up. There are other telecenter sites that are similar. They could also put up hosts in these places. These telecenters include: Long Lamai, and Ba Kalalan.
It would also be interesting to extend the monitoring to other more centrally connected hosts in the cities of Malaysia. The following hosts were suggested: Mimos in West Malaysia, KL; Kota Kinabalu the University Malaysia Sabah; Swinburne in Kuching, Miri, Manipal university in KL. Les tested pinging these universities: Swinburne (www.swinburne.edu.my) does not ping; Manipal International University pings and has been added to the hosts monitored by SLAC; University of Malaysia Sabah(www.ums.edu.my) does not respond to ping; Mimos has been added.

There is also interest in ePingER, e.g. for other major sites in Malaysia and even the Kelabit highlands where its low power requirements and low cost together with the ability to host applications such as a web accessible PingER monitoring station, could be very advantageous to quantitatively study the network performance, and provide reports for decisions makers and funding agencies on how to improve the network.
Les provided information on the hardware to purchase. Looking at https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/ePingER+Project it says:

An ePingER App for an Android or iOS might also be an interesting project.
