There are units running in Dilli, East Timor (https://watersourceaustralia.com.au/dili-east-timor) as part of the Bee Lafaek Project (https://www.facebook.com/beelafaek. These units are not only providing clean water, but also reducing the waste from single-use bottles and providing an industry which supports local kids.The processing back-end is hosted on AWS and makes use of the serverless capabilities of AWS Lambda, AWS Timestream, AWS DynamoDatabase, AWS Aurora and AWS S3.
