Setup

Online in three moves.

01
Flip the power switch

The light bar breathes white for a few seconds as it boots, then turns solid green when the hotspot is ready.

02
Join ACID Hotspot Wi-Fi

Any phone, tablet or laptop can be connected. The password is printed under the device.

03
Open acid.hotspot

The library home page lists every archive onboard. Search works offline, full-text. Full internet like experience accessing website resources, but completely offline.

Capability 01 — Serve

One device serves the whole camp.

The Mini V2 runs a hardened access point with a 50-foot open-field radius. Twenty-four clients can read, search and stream video from the library at once — the onboard server saturates Wi-Fi before it runs out of headroom.

  • →Wi-Fi 5E, 2.4 GHz
  • →Works as a normal USB drive when plugged in
Capability 02 — Store

A library you own and update.

Ships preloaded with the essentials — all of English Wikipedia, world maps, WikiMed, Gutenberg, survival and repair libraries — plus the lab's exclusive archives, from the Lumen offline AI assistant to an FDA-sourced drug reference. Back on grid, one click checks for updated archives; offline, drag any .zim or your own PDFs, video and documents onto the drive.

Built for weather, not desks.

Glass-filled polymer shell, sealed ports, no fans, no moving parts. IP52 against dust and spray, drop-rated to 4 feet onto concrete, and happy from −20 °C to +55 °C. The battery is user-replaceable with a coin.

Common questions.

Does it need the internet, ever?+

No. Everything is served locally. Internet is only useful when you want to download updated archives — and you can do that from any computer and carry them over through the file manager portal.

What devices can connect?+

Anything with Wi-Fi and a browser: iOS, Android, laptops, e-readers. No app or account — join the network and open the https://acid.hotspot URL.

Can I load my own content?+

Yes. Connect to any Wi-Fi device, open the file manager portal, and drop in any .zim archive, or your own PDFs, video, audio and documents.
