"Can this network do more than just internet?"

The teachers ask: "Can we share files between classrooms?" The clinic asks: "Can we have a shared calendar?" Someone suggests hosting a local Wikipedia mirror for when the internet goes down.

Your network is more than pipes for internet traffic — it's a platform. You can host local services that work even when the internet connection is slow or completely down:

• Nextcloud — file sharing, calendars, collaborative editing
• Kiwix — offline Wikipedia and educational content
• LibreSpeed — local speed test for your network
• Local AI — run language models for translation or education
• Jellyfin — media server for educational videos
