Aadhithya Sujith Jan 14, 2017 01:00 ![]() | Proposal contributor Hi RobertDyson, It is a good idea to add a solar charger to it, I recently found a solar panel for $1 from a Chineese store and it works great. By recycling and resuing old smartphones the cost of such a device can be significantly reduced. Also it is easy to connect IOT sensors to smartphones easily and connect the same with internet. I would appreciate if you could support my proposal. Thanks & regards Aadhithya |
Martin Rojas Mar 29, 2017 09:28 ![]() | Greetings, First of all, great idea! It connects to my idea about rural internet. Used old smartphones as hotspots for rural wifi is a great, more applicable idea than what I was thinking. I wonder, what is the range of a cell phone wifi hotspot? or if it can be amplified? I will follow your idea to see what comes out of it. Best regards, Martín
