Our aim is for everyone to have up to date info whenever they need, without the immediate use of Internet - the entire Wikipedia, Social Messages, recent news, schoolbooks, work projects, records, etc.
It can be attained by the use of a thumb drive, which can be used offline for as long as one intends.
After implementing changes, when the drive is connected to an internet enabled computer, it will update all the changes, hence syncing it with everyone.
The files will not be overwritten; they will only be updated or modified
We are striving to create an always up-to-date information at your fingertips, ready to work until its time for the next sync.
What is the next sync?
When you connect your drive (after the amendments you made) to an internet enabled device for a brief period(30 seconds - 1 minute)
Zline is not syncing to google drive. It is continuous, real time updating system that works offline
Empowering Access
Education
Problem
"MSU's research also indicates that students who rely only on a cell phone and have no home internet access had a digital skill gap similar to the capabilities between an 8th and 11th grader. To make matters worse, those relying on cell phones for internet access struggle to leverage all the available online resources their schools provide due to slow connectivity caps on data.
Other research from Common Sense Media, an educational media technology company, found that, as of February 2022, around 16 million students in the U.S. are without access to the technology they need to participate in distance learning. However, it’s n__ot just students. Approximately 400,000 teachers lack adequate internet access for teaching remotely.
Additionally, Common Sense Media found that rural communities and people of color are disproportionately affected by the digital divide."
Our solution
In areas that have limited connectivity the use of Zline can be helpful for the teachers and the Institute itself.
The Students would have the up to date information (from when last synced) on their physical drive, which they can use to change and access information, without the use of the internet.
They can then work, while accessing the information that is on the drive and updating their assignment on the drive (all without the use of the internet).
Next all they have to do is to connect the drive on an internet compatible system and it will be updated for the institute and other students within one minute.
Agriculture
Problem
"The results from the AHC analysis reported two main patterns related to rural areas with a lower internet access and others with a proper access. The former is in smaller municipalities in terms of population, and it is mainly influenced by the type of connection. The latter is related to municipalities with a better connection type, although it is not the panacea for the most remote rural areas, where the speed and reliability of connections is the biggest limitation, along with the decrease of territorial coverage. One of the initiatives by the local councils is to provide public Wi-Fi from different spaces of the villages, such as the town hall building, the main square, bars, or libraries, thus enabling the service to reach the greatest number of people. This is also the purpose of European Commission with WIFI4EU, of which some of them have been beneficiaries. However, most of the municipalities in the surveys claim to have just one space with free WIFI, hindering people from connecting easily and at any time."
Internet Access Broadband Rural Smart Farming
'Lack of reliable internet access has a trickle-down effect on farmers. Without connectivity, producers can’t conduct basic tasks that come with running a modern business.'

Our Solution
Using Zline, individuals can connect it to a location with accessible internet service for approximately one minute, enabling them to return home with the latest information synchronized.
Weather forecasts, market prices and agricultural guides can be presented directly to farmers via the flash drives.
The flash drives can contain training modules, pest management techniques, etc.
Emergency Response
Problem
"In conclusion, the importance of internet access in rural communities cannot be overstated. It is essential for education, healthcare, job opportunities, and emergency situations. Without internet access, rural communities are at a significant disadvantage compared to their urban counterparts."
Importance of internet access in rural communities
Simple Portable internet in major disaster zones
Our Solution
Drives with disaster cautions, evacuation routes and emergency contact information can be distributed to communities with limited internet connection, which might be vulnerable to natural disasters.
Healthcare
Problem
"Digital poverty is a significant issue in today's world, and its impact on healthcare is undeniable. To create a more equitable healthcare system, we must address the digital divide and ensure that everyone has the tools and knowledge needed to access and benefit from digital healthcare resources. By doing so, we can take a significant step toward improving the health and well-being of everyone, regardless of their digital access."
Our Solution
Zline can provide cost-efficient and offline access to healthcare resources to underserved communities, by the use of a thumb drive(that stores educational materials, diagnostic tools, patient data etc) Community members can access crucial information without the internet. When internet connectivity is available, the updates can be synced back.
the drive can also serve as a backup solution (storing critical healthcare data locally)
How Can We Help
We can help by working with NGOs by understanding their mission and values while familiarizing ourselves with their target demographics, and areas of operation.
Flash drives with preloaded educational resources (such as textbooks, videos, interactive lessons and software for students, content can be in Multilingual Content) and can be distributed to the students.
We have the ability to make it compatible with mobile phones.(use of OTG flash drives that can connect directly to smartphones)
We can provide portable learning, with easy to carry flash drives, revisiting the material if needed without the hassle of a good internet connection.
Students can learn at their own pace
We can guide teachers about how to effectively implement the system within their institute, while also proving teachers to stay updated with new teaching methodologies.
