Omnibox is a solution for power and network supply.In emergency cases, power and network could be shut down, So the user just need to open the App and search for the nearest Omnibox ,of course offline should be available. Use your map to navigate the target box and scan the QR code to show that you are qualified with Omnibox Community and you would get a battery supply. Omnibox would also have hot-spot to help those who lost network connection. You can browse the information and send message outside so that you could seek help instantly.

According to the World Health Organization, around 160 million people are affected by natural disasters. And one of the biggest issues that affect people, is the loss of electricity, and internet, which leads to the losses of communications with the outside.
A report sponsored by an agency of the United States Government, named “ value of internet in emergency responses” stated that “one of the advantages (of internet) is that a great deal of real-time information can be made available to a large audience”, which is exactly what people need right after a natural disaster happens.
For example, the internet can help the outside to receive the listings of people who are affected by disasters and their locations”, knowing their status, then, give accurate rescue plans case by case as fast as possible.
Whe
So, how are we going to prevent people from losing connections from the outside, during or after the natural disasters. Here, we introduce you, the omnibox.
Basically we use the device Omnibox to provide power and network service . Usually we encourage the community to deploy our Omnibox to earn rent. When a disaster strikes, people would find it easy to get an Omnibox nearby so that they can get access to network and power as soon as possibile.
- The user open App and find nearest Omnibox
- The user scan the QR code to request for a Powerbank( IBM Cloud Functions )
- Omnibox request backend of Device Management (IBM Watson IoT Platform ) to eject the Powerbank
- When the powerbank be returned,Omnibox would info the backend that order has been done.
