nimble
The nimble is a completely open source and portable solution for starting a new wireless mesh network, or expanding an existing one.
Anyone connected to the Nimble can video and voice chat, message, share files, build and run courses and websites, stream media, view global maps, create collaborative documents and spreadsheets, read e-books, play games, and much more, completely offline.
If a single internet connection is available, it can be plugged into the Nimble to provide free or paid internet access to anyone on the network. The offline services and content are always available to users, regardless of internet availability.
Anyone in the world can build their own Nimble with locally sourced hardware and 3D-printed components.
Lokal
Lokal is a platform comprised of customizable open source software and services that enable communities and organizations to create, consume and communicate offline or online where there is connectivity. Lokal can run on any server, whether it’s a Raspberry Pi, the nimble server, or a virtual private server in the cloud.
The platform enables social eLearning (building, running and taking social courses), video and audio calling and messaging, high-speed file-sharing and synchronization, wireless network management, media streaming, collaborative document and spreadsheet creation, and much more.
Think of Lokal as box of legos that can be put together in different ways to meet the needs of diverse communities around the world.
