WORLDBEAT: FRENCH POLYNESIA GETS BROADBAND ACCESS
Another remote area of the world is now on-line. Amateur
Radio Newsline's Skeeter Nash, N5ASH, has the details:
--
High speed Internet access has come to the islands of the
South Pacific. This with word that OmniAccess has expanded
its network coverage in the remote French Polynesian
islands.
The news follows the company's investment into the opening
of a high-capacity network on the Intelsat 18 satellite that
first became operational in November 2011. This provides the
capacity to enable enhanced broadband internet coverage and
network services via Ku-band coverage platform to that
isolated part of the world.
As a result, for the first time private yachts, charter
yachts and commercial vessels cruising in the region can now
benefit from high quality uninterrupted broadband
connectivity via the new high speed service.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Skeeter Nash, N5ASH,
reporting.
