Product Description
Hitch is a smart wireless router that automatically creates and interconnects community WiFi hotspots that pre-downloads (cach) relevant online content once, so many users can access the same information quickly without an Internet connection. In this way, it creates a content delivery network and broadband services in underserved areas. It forms WiFi Data Hubs through various Hitch routers enabling users to access Internet content, without needing individual ISP connections.
The routers have integrated capacity to connect to solar energy panels and batteries for energy autonomy.
