What does it do?

MediaBox is the Swiss Army Knife for Media on a TV or monitor. The only device equally happy in a boardroom, hotel or home. 

But what about Roku and Apple TV?

Roku and Apple are great if your in the US or even Western European markets, however they lack a vast number of Features required in more developing countries.
No analogue output for older screens and no connectivity built-in.
This is why we have developed an LTE and Fibre version of our device, Launching in November. So you will get a 2x2 Wifi Hotspot with built-in fibre or LTE as well as Mediabox. A total home connectivity and entertainment solution. 
Here is a teaser image: 


I don't get it?

Think combining a WiFi Router / LTE or Fibre and a Mediabox. Whether its Netflix, Hulu, HBO, iPlayer or mirroring your PC, MAC, Android / IOS phone & tablet we have a device for you. We provide the worlds best fan-less, small form factor machines for home entertainment, digital signage, hotels and industry.

Have a look below at our original campaign and see how far we have come and will still go:

Original Campaign:

Why variable funding?

We have spent the time, effort and money getting our product ready. The perks are already in final pre-production and once we have final numbers we will hit the order button, so your hardware and OS are guaranteed to be delivered on time.


With the MediaBox, you can watch any video on-demand services, play anything from a USB/MicroSD, listen to streaming radio, surf and browse the net, even gaming and much more...your TV becomes your complete media platform. 

Perfect for home / hotel entertainment, boardroom or digital signage applications.

MBX allows you to play any on-demand services, such as Netflix, Hulu+, HBO, Youtube, Vimeo, BBC iPlayer, TuneIn,  Spotify & VIDI. The device has been developed to support any future changes or growth in the market place.


Perhaps you don't have an internet connection? No problem, the MBX-3G is also a hotspot with up to 21.6Mbps download speed, so you can connect your laptop, phone and tablet while watching, playing, listening or surfing so you can unleash your entertainment experience.  


With built-in 1x MicroSD, 2 x USB ports, Ethernet, WiFi & Bluetooth (including being a hotspot), we have got you completely covered. Watch movies, stream TV, surf and play games anywhere you want.


Whether you want to watch on a High definition (HDMI) or standard definition (red yellow, white RCA's) you can use the MBX on any TV and still experience the best digital entertainment wherever you are.

With models that have Android, Windows or Linux pre-installed. Whether your needs are for media, desktop or M2M we can fulfil your requirement. Our MBX units also include the ability to mirror your mobile device's screen content, regardless of brand or manufacturer (provided the device supports mirroring of some kind). 


We are a team of dynamic technology innovators based in Cape Town, and our aim is to create low-cost, low-power computing solutions. We design and produce quality technology driven products, software and services, based on cutting edge platforms.

Our company is made up of a group of young professionals specialising in software, engineering, finance and design. We are a passionate team that brings together our various skills to create new products that are disruptive, essential & fun.

But our business is more than media...

It is connecting people to an information age. With the development of the MBX range, we can help create a low-cost-high-quality product in terms of media and hotspots all over the developing world, especially due to the integration of 3G connectivity into our units.


We need your help to take our current products into full scale production. 

The more support we get the faster we can do this.  

Our product components are ready for tooling & mass production. With the help of the campaign funding we will finalise the necessary applications, final product packaging, testing and shipping to your door.

Below you will find out just what a powerhouse you will be getting... Just click the image to enlarge.

With the MBX you will have a complete Android / Linux / Windows based computer that works on your TV/Monitor/screen in HD or Analogue (depending on model). 

Over and above all this, we are also developing a Linux Ubuntu / Chrome OS low cost sub $200 all-in-one PC Including screen, keyboard & mouse, using the same hardware ecosystem as our Android unit.



The technology sector is filled with giants that control their own products to only work with other products they produce. 

We believe that technology is meant to help make life easier not more confusing. This is why we are creating a link between multiple brands / ecosystems and products and we will continue to provide this whatever the trends and wherever technology moves and leads us from here. 

If you can't contribute financially please help us by spreading the word about what we are trying to do among your friends, family and entire network. Mention us on a Twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp or any social media platform you can, to help us spread 'Entertainment Freedom' throughout the world.

With your help we can have an immense impact on the future of computing in developing countries and the world in general.
