Togo: Dapaong Internet Cafe
Dapaong Internet cafe is maintained by Togo Humanists. To improve their service to the community they need:
Hybrid solar-inverter system with deep-cycle batteries for reliable off-grid uptime.
Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) and surge protectors on all devices to prevent damage from grid fluctuations.
Multi-port phone charging station to generate additional micro-revenue.
Bandwidth management router to cap individual download speeds, ensuring stable service for the projected 15–25 daily users.
Secondary 4G/5G mobile router on a competing network to serve as a failover if the primary connection drops.
Local caching server to store frequently downloaded files (like system updates) locally, saving data costs.
Reboot-to-restore software (e.g., Deep Freeze) on the laptops and Chromebooks to automatically wipe user data, history, and malware after every session.
Captive portal billing system (e.g., Antamedia) that uses timed login vouchers.
A heavy-duty, ink-tank printer to offer high-margin printing, scanning, and photocopying services.
Projector to run structured, paid bootcamps on digital literacy and basic computing.
High-velocity fans to protect hardware from overheating and dust buildup.
PVC trunking to prevent tripping hazards.
Rechargeable LED desk lamps for evening use and chairs with adequate back support.
