Why We Build: Facebook's Connectivity Lab
Today, more than 3.8 billion people around the world do not have access to the internet.
Africa has one of the highest offline populations in the world––over 340 million men, women and children are without access to basic online services and information.
Facebook’s Connectivity Lab is working with network operators, equipment manufacturers, and other ecosystem partners to develop new technologies like High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) that can help connect remote communities across Africa, and in other underserved parts of the world.
