Imaginet delivers satellite internet to Nueva Vizcaya in the Philippines

Imaginet International announced that its satellite internet project in Kasibu, in the province of Nueva Vizcaya in the Philippines has been successful. The company partnered with the mining company Oceana Gold for the installation of a VSAT system, as well as accompanying networks, to connect Kasibu’s Municipal Hall to the internet.

The Makati-based systems integrator company said that the project had successfully linked 15 computers in the municipal hall to wireless Internet access via satellite, allowing the local government to carry activities more efficiently. The system will also be used by the Kasibu local government unit for disaster preparedness by accessing early warning systems online for possible typhoons or other weather disturbances.

According to Imaginet, the hardware used for the VSAT installation were all provided by Oceana Gold, to help support the local community in its business endeavors as well as provide platforms such as distance learning, in the remote town. Engineers from Imaginet provided technical support as well as maintenance to the sites as part of its Corporate Responsibility Program.
