Internet-in-a-Box is a low cost digital library, consisting of a wireless access point with storage, which users nearby can connect to.[1]
Internet-in-a-Box
The 2017 set-up of an offline medical library. Anyone physically near to the device may connect to it and download the offline content it contains.
Its realization in hardware and software has changed since 2012, as miniaturization of storage space and electronics progressed.[2] As of 2017, its hardware may consist of a Raspberry Pi with a replaceable storage card.[1]
The digital library is composed of multiple modules; modules may be pre-installed, or users may choose which to install. Examples of modules include Wikipedia in a specific language, Wikipedia's Medical Encyclopedia, Khan Academy Lite, and OpenStreetMap.[3][1] Other content includes Moodle, Nextcloud, MediaWiki, PhET (interactive mathematics and science simulations), TED Talks.[4]
