International audience Many actors in public institutions of higher education in Burkina Faso and around the world have used videoconferencing applications during the Covid-19 pandemic to conduct courses, pedagogical activities, participate in conferences and many other scientific activities. However, in the context of Burkina Faso where most of the actors use mobile Internet, the comfort of use of the different videoconference applications is often not satisfactory due to connectivity issues. In this paper, we propose a cutting-edge e-infrastructure to improve the usability of multipoint videoconferencing while preserving the mobility of users. The proposed e-infrastructure consists of a logical extension of the National Research and Education Network (FasoREN) access network such that multipoint videoconference calls initiated within a 5G network are routed towards FasoREN. It can be applied to any netwotk of type FasoREN a priori and in particular to those whose actors are more inclined to use the mobile Internet.
