Solution (product or service)
the idea we are bringing as a solution to this issue is to set up a wifi hotspot in schools, around schools and student living areas, so that users can access the internet from the comfort of their homes/classrooms/offices as the case may be.
mobile phone network companies,and ISP companies do offer data services, but this is not reliable enough and most times is expensive for the average user especially students, because a lot of apps, software updates, research works and school works do consume data alot thereby making it expensive for the user.
our product(wifi hotspot) will address this issue mainly.
and in building this, we are creating a platform that will give birth to so many Ict / tech developments, apps , sites can enter into agreement so that users can have access to such sites free,
the platform is also another avenue for adverts,and a means to build a community connected together on the same network, in the sense that a user connected to the hotspot can share a file with another user.
