NewCom Unveils Internet-Based Rural Education Package via Satellite for Latin America, Africa

Governments, NGOs, foundations and private sector businesses interested in improving education in rural, developing regions throughout Latin America and Africa now have an affordable, turnkey solution at their fingertips, thanks to the Rural Education Package recently unveiled by Miami, Florida-based NewCom International. The education package provides high-speed internet connectivity over satellite, world-class online educational materials and its VideoMeetings™ application that facilitates a virtual interactive classroom. It also includes NewCom’s SafeAccess™ service which protects against viruses and enables governments or educators to block access to certain online content.

At the core of NewCom’s Rural Education Package is iDirect’s cutting-edge Evolution Platform, which comes equipped with ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation) to ensure service continuity despite rain or other weather interferences in the storm-prone regions of Latin America and Africa. The platform also works on small antennas and offers built-in bandwidth optimization features to ensure the most affordable solution possible.
