The Challenge

Imagine a clinic where the doctor can’t access a specialist because the internet drops out. Or a classroom where students can’t download lessons. For communities in remote islands, rugged terrain, and distant regions in Vanuatu and Australia, this is the daily reality.

Without reliable connectivity, children fall behind in school, families can’t access telehealth, and entire communities are cut off during disasters

Our Mission

At Network Equity, we believe that access to reliable internet is not a luxury — it’s essential.

Education: Students can join classes and teachers can access online resources.

Health: Remote clinics can connect with specialists and deliver telehealth.

Commerce: Local businesses and families can connect to wider markets.

Equity: Digital inclusion means participation, opportunity, and resilience.

Our mission is simple: to close the digital divide for the most remote communities.

The Solution: EdgeSpark Technology

We want to deploy EdgeSpark connectivity units — rugged, portable internet systems that work anywhere, even when other networks fail.

Switches automatically between satellite and cellular networks.

Rugged, portable briefcase-size units for off-grid communities.

Critical during disasters — keeping people connected when it matters most.

This technology means a school can hold lessons, a clinic can save lives, and a community can stay connected.

Our Goal

We are raising AUD $100,000 to purchase and deploy EdgeSpark units across five remote communities.

This covers:
EdgeSpark units
Solar & backup power
Installation & training
One year of operation & support

What Your Donation Can Do

$50 → Keeps one health clinic online for a month

$500 → Provides solar & battery backup for one unit

$5,000 → Fully equips one EdgeSpark “Connect” unit for a school or clinic

$100,000 → Full deployment across five communities, with training & support

Every dollar makes a difference.

Why It Matters

When communities are connected, they are:

Healthier — access to telehealth and emergency response.

Smarter — education and training for children and adults.

Stronger — resilient during disasters and isolation.

Fairer — because no one should be left behind in the digital world.
