Introduction • Objective is to extent the Internet facilities for villagers who live outside the telecenter coverage. • This project is taking the advantage of an existing Internet connection in Bario telecenter particularly. • OffSys offers offline Internet services, which are offline email, offline surfing, offline blogs and offline buletin boards. • With OffSys in place, the villagers who live tens of kilometers outside the telecenter coverage, could save their time on travel to the telecenter and only have to wait for an appointed person with a mobile access device (MAD) to pass by to their villagers, known as an infomediary man.
Conclusion • The paper introduced the suggested design and framework for offline internet services system • The offline approach is taken because of its low cost and easy to implement and replicate as compared to WiFi implementation. • The fact that Bario community live scatteredly and the distance is far from one village to another is the main motivation to this project. • The objective is to offer equal opportunity in accessing to the Internet for local communities.
