remote areas
Far-flung territories
Remote areas are places far from cities, towns, or other population centers—regions where access is difficult and services are limited.
The phrase appears in discussions of healthcare delivery, telecommunications infrastructure, and disaster relief: Getting supplies to remote areas after the earthquake proved challenging.
Remote areas may lack roads, electricity, or cellular coverage, making them isolated from the conveniences of modern life.
