Internet Access
for School in Alberta
We have connected the first Public Christian school in Alberta with High-Speed Internet Access Service (HughesNet). Students and teachers at Neerlandia Public Christian School. Neerlandia is a small Dutch community in the County of Barrhead, Alberta, Canada. The studens are now able to access the information highway at high-speed without the use of a telephone connection. The school's only Internet connection prior to installing the satellite internet system was via a low-speed satellite telephone. With the 2-Way satellite internet networked solution, up to 20 students and teachers are able to connect to the Internet at high-speed simultaneously using a single antenna.
The multi-user two-way Satellite DSL Internet solution delivered to the school is a perfect example of the type of service we can deliver to many rural and remote schools across the country. Schools across Canada without access to cable or DSL services now have the option to get high-speed Internet into their classrooms at cost effective rates and offer students the same opportunity presently available in large metropolitan area schools.
HughesNet satellite connection has become an important educational tool at this remote area school. Students and teachers use the Internet to perform research and connect to other educational institutions for exchange of information and resources.
Neerlandia Public Christian School is a part of the Pembina Hills Regional Division #7. The school is located in the Hamlet of Neerlandia, 24 km North of Barrhead, Alberta.
