The kiosk ecosystem

Rural Starlink, delivered as a solar kiosk with a local agent.

One hardware stack — solar, Starlink, UniFi — sold as the Village Fast Internet Kiosk and run through Konekt, so the community pays in kina and the revenue stays accountable.

How access works today

Live at two hotspots. The on-chain meter and automatic revenue split are the next milestone, not the current build.

  1. 1Villager tops up a BM wallet — cash at a Konekt agent or BSP Pay
  2. 2Buys a Konekt voucher in the app, or at the kiosk
  3. 3Gateway grants the data session; usage is capped per voucher
  4. 4Revenue is recorded in BM's licensed ledger and split with the local agent

What a site needs

  • A safe, shaded spot for the panels, battery box and dish with clear sky to the north
  • A local agent who sells vouchers, takes cash top-ups and looks after the kit
  • A phone with the Konekt app — the agent's stock, sales and split are all recorded there
