Digital Inclusion
Veea believes that digital equity and inclusion are basic human rights, fundamental to the prosperity of citizens, societies, and countries. One-third of the world’s population lacks affordable Internet access. To globally bridge the digital divide, technology solutions must address affordability, accessibility, and adoption. Affordability plays a pivotal role in ensuring that technology is accessible to all socioeconomic backgrounds and geographies. Adoption is made possible through education programs, complemented by innovations in how people and devices connect to the Internet.
Veea solves for digital inclusion and equity with our hyper-converged Edge platform (connectivity, compute, storage) that leverages the most economically favorable and available forms of connecting to the internet (e.g., fiber, 4G/5G, cable, or satellite) while pushing the boundaries of wireless networking infrastructure with novel software techniques. We connect citizens to the Internet affordably, with high rates of adoption, from the remote villages of Far East Asia to rural North America.
