Providing wireless access to digital resources

Almost half the world’s population, 3.7 billion people live offline, the majority of them being women and in developing countries. Remote learning remains out of reach for at least 500 million students around the world.

Grey-box was created to address this specific social and technical issue. Our product, UNI, offers offline educational resources and digital classrooms in a tiny box.

How do we make a difference?

Grey-box provides offline and wireless access to digital resources in various environments and locations where internet access is unreliable. We believe that everyone should have access to the same tools and resources in order to empower themselves and their community.

Our mission is to build accessible digital tools that promote autonomy and empowerment within communities located in remote areas – where the internet and electricity is unreliable.

The main challenge remote or disconnected communities face is having the basic technological tools and resources to be connected. We take the best educational content available online such as Wikipedia and Khan Academy and put it in a portable device called UNI. UNI is an easy-to-use local hotspot that can be deployed anywhere in the field, thanks to our network of partners.

Our commitment is to keep each UNI device affordable, distribute worldwide, regardless of the environment, and provide access to quality content. We are dedicated to our mission to bridge the digital equity gap through reliable, economical, and collaborative resources.

RELIABLE.

ECONOMICAL.

COLLABORATIVE.
