With the One Laptop Per Child project heating up, it might be nice to give these kids some Internet as well. Whats that you say there is no Internet infrastructure in developing nations? Well have no fear, solar WiFi to the rescue!
Why Green WiFi? A number of entities focus on addressing the digital divide by providing internet access to developing areas. Green WiFi addresses one of the biggest barriers to success: the lack of reliable electricity in developing areas required to power the network. Green WiFi has developed a low cost, solar-powered, standardized WiFi access solution that runs out-of-the-box with no systems integration or power requirements. All that is required is a single source of broadband access. Green WiFi nodes can then be deployed on rooftops to form a self-healing network that hops the source signal over a virtual 802.11b/g grid. Because these nodes require no fixed installation or power tie-ins, these nodes can form an unplanned, mobile grid that can grow or be relocated as needed. Green WiFi aims to complement and extend the power and promise of initiatives such as the UN/MIT One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, Intel’s World Ahead Program and other NGO efforts dedicated to providing affordable computing capabilities to developing areas by providing critical last mile access; last mile Internet access with nothing more than a single broadband Internet connection, rooftops and the sun.(via)
This is the second prototype that is more weather proof and has an omni-directional antenna. With a computer that is rechargeable, and an Internet infrastructure that is solar powered people in developing worlds will be able to have access (although limited) to the global information network. Giving them access to information needed to make their lives better. It will also provide new business opportunities, and allow people in all parts of the world to start engaging in the global discussion that is the Internet.
