Despite significant advances in technology and its widespread application in our society, many still do not have access to the Internet. This is primarily due to approaches taken for infrastructure rollout or failure to connect more sparsely populated areas [4]. As per Wakoma, Nimble uses the concept of a wireless mesh network to create a decentralized network infrastructure that is portable and, most importantly, an offline-first network. In the present world, the concept of portable wireless infrastructure helps to build communities that don’t; have access to proper wired infrastructure. A wireless mesh network has a rich interconnection among devices, and it adopts a self-form, self-heal approach, which means that if one node fails to operate, the rest of the nodes or devices can still communicate with each other either directly or through intermediate nodes [5]. As there are a growing number of challenges in the deployment of wired infrastructure due to geographical issues, etc., wireless technology is needed to reach every corner of the world and keep people connected. Wakoma is trying to solve this problem by enabling communities to build their infrastructure that works offline and connects back to the Internet [4].
The Nimble network is an open-source network that can be built and deployed locally [6]. Users connected to the Nimble network can have access to a lot of services, such as video, voice, and text chat, video streaming and downloading, file sharing, eLearning module and website building and learning, collaborative spreadsheet and document creation, eBook reading, gaming, and much more, completely offline [4]. All these features can be accessed entirely offline and help people to stay connected with each other. The users on the Nimble network can easily connect to the Internet by plugging it into the network. Nimble units are portable and can be moved around or left in place to grow sustainable and scalable networks [6]. Over time, Nimble increases Internet demand and access by making it relevant, practical, and affordable to local communities [4]. -
