 INTRODUCTION
DakNet is an internet service based on the
technology, which was spun-off from an idea, known
as DonkeyNet.

DakNet is an ad hoc network which uses wireless

technology to provide digital connectivity.

It uses a store and forward technique through Wi-

Fi, which is described as "Cached Wi-Fi
Intelligence”
 WHY DAKNET?
Technologies like store and forward or asynchronous
modes of communication can be significantly lower in
cost.

Providers can use asynchronous modes of

communication to create local information
repositories that community members can add to and
query.

Have shared communication infrastructure.

 Myths And Truths

telephone.

Myth :Poor people don’t need computers.

Truth : The poor not only need digital services, but
they are willing and able to pay for them.
The main parts of Daknet architecture e are
• Mobile access point
• Hub
• Kiosk
