Connecting Four Million People by 2030
The need for internet
Internet access is desperately needed in many situations around the world, from people trying to make contact in the aftermath of an earthquake to educational projects in remote areas. However, in these situations, the internet is often unavailable - networks often go down in emergencies and deploying effective internet access in remote areas is complicated, slow and expensive.
Access to reliable networks remains an issue in high income countries too, where rural areas struggle to get high-performing broadband and data poverty is a big challenge for low-income households.
Big Box
Big Box is Jangala’s first product. It fits in a small backpack and can create high-quality, scalable Wi-Fi using any form of connection to the internet.
Big Box is an incredibly flexible tool that allows for quick and low-cost deployment of internet access for hundreds of users across various contexts.
Get Box
Get Box is a rapidly deployable, cost-effective internet connectivity device that provides secure and reliable Wi-Fi for a smaller number of users.
Smaller than Big Box, Get Box is suited to small group contexts such as households, community groups or individuals.
