Java PC Lights Up Hmong Village

The Java PC system successfully connected its first real world installation this week. Vorasone Dengkayaphichith in Hmong Village, Laos sent the first email into the internet using hotmail.com. Jhai is working hard to alleviate the Hmong people's prolong suffering.

Hmong Village is a UN refugee camp in remote Laos with no connection to the electric or communication grids. The Jhai PC/IP Star installation is powered by a car battery and allows a connection of up to 256KB/s.
