OpenCellular: Facebook's Answer To Internet Everywhere

This New Facebook Device Aims to Bring Internet to the Ends of the Earth

Brian Fung | July 7, 2016

Facebook has a clear interest in getting the rest of the world online. The more people who use the Internet, the more likely it is they'll use Facebook, which means more ads and more money.
To that end, the company has launched a new piece of hardware that could help bring Internet access and communication to even the most remote places on the planet.
The device, which Facebook calls OpenCellular, looks like a breadbox and can be mounted on trees, poles and other objects.
