  • Type: Presentation
  • Time needed:20-30 Minutes
  • Narrate your plan in details: The aim of this presentation is to provide information about IIAB devices through which we can provide Wikipedia and other content via physical media. It is primarily for distribution in places where access to the Internet is limited or controlled. The device includes software that creates a Wi-Fi hotspot that offers closed platform access. The presentation will cover how to Build, Customise and possible add-ons to this device and the scope of its use.IIAB is not intended to further connect users to the Internet or to content, beyond what is presented in the Box itself.
  • Any support you need: TBC
  • How will this session be beneficial for the communities in India?: Most of the Indian communities are not much aware of this device, after the COVID-19 pandemic when almost everything especially education is dependent on the Internet this device can provide free access to Wiki, education and health-related content WITHOUT paying internet charges to its small group of users.
