01 / THE AFRIBOX ADVANTAGE

Offline. In sync.
Portable. Easy.

Four everyday advantages, built around your community: learning without internet, a library you can refresh, a box you can carry, and a simple way for everyone to connect.

NO INTERNET NEEDED FOR LOCAL ACCESS
01 / OFFLINE CAPABILITY

Works offline.

Keep learning when the internet stops.

Access lessons, e-books, videos, and other resources stored on AfriBox over local Wi-Fi. Once your library is set up, local learning and playback continue without an internet connection.

UPDATE ONLINE · USE OFFLINE
02 / CONTENT SYNCHRONIZATION

Content synchronization.

Connect. Refresh. Keep sharing.

Refresh your local library when internet is available. Once synchronized, updated resources stay on AfriBox and are shared across the local network, ready for offline access.

YOUR LIBRARY, WHERE YOU NEED IT
03 / PORTABILITY

Portable by design.

Carry a whole library in one hand.

Move AfriBox between classrooms, learning centres, and community spaces. Its approximate 12.6 × 11.3 cm footprint and roughly 4 cm height make it easy to pack, carry, and set up at your next location.

THREE SIMPLE STEPS FOR LEARNERS
04 / EASE OF USE

Easy to use.

Power on. Connect. Start learning.

After initial setup, switch on AfriBox, join the local Wi-Fi, and open the shared library address in your browser. Use your phone, tablet, or laptop to find the resources you need.

Getting started is simple.

A familiar browser. Your own device. A shared world of resources.

04 / GO FURTHER, TOGETHER

50 people to start.
100 or more in reach.

The base configuration supports a minimum of 50 people. Configure AfriBox and its network for 100 or more, with access points, suitable backhaul, and software tuned to your content.

START SIMPLE

A local library.
A room full of possibility.

    Wire the backbone.

    Ethernet backhaul keeps access-point links steady and frees up wireless airtime.

    Place for people.

    Position access points near users. Walls, interference, and placement affect coverage.

    Test, then grow.

    Measure your content and real devices. Wider coverage alone doesn’t add server capacity.

    A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

    Let’s make
    things clear.

    The practical details behind the possibilities.

    Does AfriBox need the internet?+

    Once compatible local server software and content are installed, devices on the same network can access those local resources without an internet connection. AfriBox and the network still need power. Online services, remote updates, and new downloads need internet access.

    How does content synchronization work?+

    An administrator connects AfriBox to the internet and refreshes its local library through the configured content platform. Once synchronization is complete, the updated resources stay on AfriBox for shared offline access. The synchronization options depend on the content software selected for your programme.

    Can I take AfriBox to another location?+

    Yes. With an approximate 12.6 × 11.3 cm footprint and around 4 cm height, AfriBox is easy to carry between locations. Bring its power adapter and the network equipment needed at the destination, connect them to power, and make the local library available there.

    How many people can connect at once?+

    The base AfriBox configuration supports a minimum of 50 people. It can be configured to support 100 or more people with suitable routers, access points, and workload tuning. For larger deployments, plan around your content mix, video quality, simultaneous activity, and Wi-Fi conditions, then test the full setup with representative devices.

    Should I use a router, an extender, or an access point?+

    Start with a router or access point providing Wi-Fi and a local network. For additional rooms, Ethernet-connected access points are generally the more dependable option. Mesh nodes or extenders are useful where cabling is impractical; place them where they still receive a strong upstream signal. Wireless repeating consumes airtime and can reduce throughput.

    Can I upgrade what is inside?+

    Memory and storage upgrade options, supported capacities, module types, and available slots depend on your AfriBox version. Check the relevant documentation and installed parts first. The Ryzen processor is soldered to the motherboard and is not a practical user upgrade. Disconnect power before any service.

    What content and software come with AfriBox?+

    This page describes the hardware foundation and possible deployment patterns. A preinstalled software or content bundle has not been specified. Your programme should choose compatible software, confirm content licences, and prepare its library before deployment.
