United Villages provides villagers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America with a digital identity and access to locally-relevant products and services using our low-cost, store-and-forward "drive-by WiFi" technology  www.firstmilesolutions.com. Our Mobile Access Points (MAPs) are installed on existing vehicles (e.g. buses and motorcycles) and automatically provide access for WiFi-enabled Kiosks along the roads. Whenever a MAP is within range of a real-time wireless Internet connection, it transfers the data from and for those Kiosks. United Villages sells prepaid cards to village Kiosk Operators and local sales agents who resell the cards to users at a profit and provide a human interface for our products and services, which include:

• Sending and receiving voicemails, text messages, emails, and faxes;
• Purchasing locally-unavailable products such as medicines, books, and seeds, which are delivered to Kiosks on the MAP-mounted vehicles;
• Accessing value-added services such as job searches, travel bookings, and matrimonials;
• Browsing locally-relevant websites and information caches.

United Villages, Inc. operates a subsidiary in India and is working with partners to bring United Villages to other developing countries to bridge the digital divide through sustainable micro-enterprise.
