SolarNetOne is a hardware system developed by GNUveau that functions as a rugged, solar-powered, Linux web server with optional SAT-link broadband connection that provides “internet cafe” type services to rural villages that otherwise have no internet or mobile phone coverage. ALENSA has recently partnered with GNUveau to distribute this system since we believe that modern telehealth services for remote locations, such as video-consultations, require fast and stable internet connections of a level that mobile phone networks currently can’t provide. Of course that’s not to take away anything from the excellent work that current SMS based services such as FrontlineSMS, 
Vital Wave, 
Vodafone and others are doing.
But to illustrate some of the advantages of SolarNetOne, here is a video featuring Scott Johnson from GNUveau explaining more about how the system works:
