KioskNet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KioskNet is a system, developed at the University of Waterloo, to provide very low cost Internet access to rural villages in developing countries, based on the concept of Delay Tolerant Networking. It uses vehicles, such as buses, to ferry data between village kiosks and Internet gateways in nearby urban centers. The data is re-assembled at a Proxy Server for interaction with legacy servers. ^[1]. The system is free and open source.

A video describing KioskNet features can be found here.
