As part\nof its commitment to empower future generations, Paratus Namibia has provided\nthe Kwakwas Primary school with Internet access through its range of VSAT products.\nThe school also received a sponsorship of 20 Lenovo tablets from Tacoma Sunrise\nRotary Club in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kwakwas\nPrimary School is a rural school situated around 27km north-west of Rehoboth.\nIt has four staff members that teach 69 grade one to seven learners from the\nSan and surrounding farming community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paratus\nNamibia Managing Director Andrew Hall says the school has no Internet\nconnectivity and it is further complicated by the location of the school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs\nNamibians, we at Paratus are very passionate about our country and its people\nand believe that the education of our children is vital to empowering the\nupcoming younger generations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paratus\noffers sophisticated VSAT solutions for all regions in Namibia as well as a\npan-African satellite footprint. It can connect any business (lodge, guest\nfarm, mine) to the Internet using VSAT technology, which is affordable, has\nreliable quality bandwidth and is the perfect solution for remote areas seeking\nInternet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The VSAT\nservice is provided, operated and managed through Paratus Namibia\u2019s own\nin-country VSAT hub. This means that the traffic stays within Namibia and is\nnot landed at an international hub and routed back to Namibia, thus shortening\nthe round-trip time for data access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe\nschool is therefore now able to make optimal use of the tablets that were\nreceived,\u201d added Hall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
