backpack into [0]a portable, solar-powered Wi-Fi hotspot. Possible uses
include providing Wi-Fi access for a road-trip caravan." From the
article: "Its secret ingredient: the Junxion Box. Plug a cellular-network
card into the book-size open-source-based device, and voil--instant Wi-Fi
hotspot, with speeds averaging around 700 kilobits per second. To power
the box, I wired it to a 1.2-amp-hour battery and dropped both into the
Voltaic Systems backpack, which has a built-in solar charger."
