NewCom deploys satellite broadband for distance learning program in Columbia

Miami-based global telecommunications company NewCom International has partnered with iDirect for the deployment of a satellite-powered distance learning program in Columbia. According to iDirect, which is a subsidiary of VT Systems, the partnership with NewCom will see the latter cover 26 schools in the Nudo de Paramillo Region, north of the South American nation using a iDirect satellite communications platform.
 
The project has gained support from various public and private organizations including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). NewCom International explained that the project will deliver internet on satellite to more than 4,000 students in isolated regions of Columbia. To compensate for the lack of electricity in the target regions, computers that will connect to the satellite will be powered through solar energy, allowing critical communications services to the region at a more environmental-friendly way.
