Outernet's Pillar in Kenya

Last week was not just big because of our announcement about putting satellites in orbit. Something big happened much closer to Earth in a village in Kenya.

Outernet is currently prototyping a completely self-contained high-speed receiver called Pillar. Pillar is solar-powered, weatherproof, and creates a wireless hotspot to allow WiFi-enabled devices to access content. Pillar is an autonomous digital public library which can be installed virtually anywhere in the world. source: www.outernet.is/en/receive
