Project CyberCafe

Project CyberCafe is an innovative project designed to empower Android users in third-world countries with minimal internet access. Whether you’re using a phone, TV box, or any other Android device, our solution provides you with the tools to manage and distribute your internet connectivity effectively. This is especially useful for students and educational purposes. 

Features Of Project CyberCafe

Bandwidth Management

  • Prioritize Important Devices: Make sure that the most important devices, like those used for online classes or learning, get more of the internet speed they need.
  • Prevent Network Overload: By controlling how the internet is shared, you can stop one device from using up all the speed, so everyone gets a better, more reliable connection.
  • Customizable Settings: You can change how much internet speed is given to different activities (like watching videos, browsing the web, or downloading files) to make everything work better.

Data Control

  • Set Time Limits: You can decide how long each device can use the internet. For instance, you might let each student use it for a few hours a day to make sure everyone gets a turn.
  • Automatic Disconnection: After a device has used its allotted time, it will automatically be disconnected. This stops anyone from using too much internet and lets others have a chance.
  • Daily or Weekly Limits: You can choose to set these limits by day or by week, depending on your internet plan and how you want to share it.

Data Usage Limits

  • Prevent Overuse: : You can set limits on data so that no one device uses up all the available data, which is especially helpful when you have a limited amount.
  • Fair Distribution: Give more data to devices used for important things like education, and less to those used for entertainment, to make sure everyone gets what they need.
  • Monitor and Adjust: Keep an eye on how much data is being used in real-time and change the limits if needed to fit different situations.

Features Roadmap

Ad Block

A feature we are looking to add to our project is an ad block, its purpose is to reduce the bandwidth usage for our users so that they can have more resources allocated towards meaningful content.

Mesh Connection

This project is looking to connect with another project of ours, the Mesh Network. Connection with the Mesh Network would allow users to distribute and manage the data and bandwidth of many more users and create and environment where less data is wasted, providing communities with better control over their resources.
