A BRCK device for Internet connectivity.
The BRCK (pronounced "brick") is best summed up as "a personal backup generator for the Internet." It's a heavy duty portable hotspot that can support up to 20 devices at a time.
BRCK was designed for use in rural Africa, where steady Internet connectivity and electricity is hardly a guarantee. The team that built it has a saying: If it works in Africa, it'll work anywhere.
BRCK is not yet available, but you can learn more about it here.
