Computer Solutions in Difficult Places
ALEUTIA’s aim is to distribute
online computers at a price
point that is affordable to as
many families and businesses
as possible in the developing
world, and particularly in
Africa.
Response to a Problem
In the summer of 2006, our
founder set up an Internet
cafe for an NGO in Takoradi,
Ghana that works with
streetchildren. The twenty HP
desktops that were sourced
locally were three years old
and $500 each, prone to
hardware faults because of
their age, and consumed
inordinate amounts of power,
the ongoing cost of which
almost crippled the project. In
response to these challenges,
we started this venture and
have now brought to market
the T1 — a tiny, silent, rugged
computer that consumes
just 18W of power, about
15% of a traditional desktop.
The T1 offers adequate
performance for applications
like OpenOffice, Skype, and
demanding websites like
YouTube. We have shipped
Aleutia computers to
customers in 60 countries,
from Afghanistan to Zambia.
Computers as Appliances
Our take on the market is that most computer manufacturers
overshoot the needs of most customers. We prefer to think of
computers as appliances — simple devices with a minimal learning
curve that people can use to to get things done. Unless you’re editing
videos or playing advanced 3D games, you don’t need the processing
power of a modern desktop. Most people just want to write
documents, create spreadsheets, send emails, and browse the web.
Our systems excel at these tasks and use very little energy performing
them, and so can be powered by small, inexpensive solar panels or
12V car batteries.
Longer, Local Warranty
Support in the field is of critical importance to our customers. That’s
why we forge close partnerships with local distributors, enabling us
to keep spare systems and components in stock. This means that
when a rural school needs a new system it can be quickly swapped
out without having to send the system back to the UK.
What’s Next?
We continue to focus on bringing powerful PCs and servers to market
that are consistently smaller and more rugged than the competition.
To reduce the possibility of failure we aim to avoid using moving
parts where possible, replacing hard drives with solid state drives and
using low voltage processors that can be passively cooled instead of
relying on fans.
A computer’s usefulness is often contingent on its ability to access
the Internet, which in many parts of the world is expensive and
unreliable. Aleutia have been integrating 3G modems into products
like the T2 and will soon be bundling these with data plans that can
operate worldwide sufficient for email and light web browsing.
Entertainment is also a fundamental use for PCs, and we can
optionally add TV tuners to all our PCs, allowing us to offer a low cost
solar-powered TV and PC in a single box. As with everything we do,
this is meant to help overcome the challenges that inhibit ICT access
in so many parts of the world.

SOLAR - SOLAR CLASSROOM IN A BOX INFORMATION
Technology is increasingly becoming a driving force in education. The ALEUTIA Solar Classroom-in-a-Box
(CIAB) was developed specifically to overcome the challenges of delivering ICT in rural Africa and Asia. From
the project’s inception, ALEUTIA has focussed on providing a solution that is energy-efficient, rugged, and self-
contained.
 Educational software pre-loaded on 6-12 PCs ready to setup anywhere with sunlight.
 TV Tuner card (optional) to transform ALEUTIA PC into a solar TV.
 X1 Server can share 3G connection wirelessly (or via ethernet) with all the computers in classroom,
serving as a 3G Access Point.
 Weatherproof and roof-mountable solar panels provide permanent electricity to power CIAB.
 Charge Controller allows you to use electricity while simultaneously charging battery.
 Complete 12V DC solution – no need for expensive & wasteful inverter.
 Solar panels generate enough energy to power the complete solution – 84 hours (7 days) of sunlight
powers classroom for 50 hours.
 Offer classes during the day and operate at night when there is no sunlight as an Internet cafe.

SOLAR TV
Most ALEUTIA computers can be fitted with an internal TV TUNER card. Just plug in the supplied antenna and
you can watch all channels broadcast on a digital (DVB-T) or analogue signal.

Most desktops are noisy, bulky, and use lots of power.

Our PCs are silent, tiny, and use very little power.

A typical desktop consumes 100-150 Watts of Power.

Our best selling PC, the T1, consumes 18 Watts of Power.

Even our Intel Core i3-based PCs use just 30W.

All of our products run on Direct Current (DC), making it easy to connect
them to 12V batteries and solar panels.

Most of our PCs have no moving parts, ensuring reliability in remote places.

Aleutia works closely with local distributors to ensure outstanding support.
