Facebook takes a step forward and becomes a telecommunications operator. Through his account, in fact, he was the founder himself, Mark Zuckerberg, to present Open Cellular. What is Open Cellular? It is an open DIY wi-fi connection that facilitates the creation of a network to connect in countries that cannot afford it. Zuckerberg's commitment to this topic has always been known to everyone.
Mark explained that the system is the size of a shoebox and is capable of serving up to 1.500 people within a 10 kilometer radius. “Traditional infrastructure can be very expensive and it is difficult to extend the network into rural and sometimes even more developed areas,” said Kashif Ali, an engineer at Facebook.
To date, in fact, 4 billion people do not have Internet access; Facebook's challenge is to bring a wi-fi connection all over the world.
