[Via Satellite 06-30-2015] Via Direta Telecom<\/b>, a subsidiary of TV and radio broadcast group Rede Tiradentes de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es<\/b>, has selected VT iDirect<\/b>\u2019s Evolution platform to support Brazil\u2019s largest distance-learning program. The Amazon State\u2019s secretary of education has commissioned Rede Tiradentes to create a distance-learning program to reach the entire country. The program will use satellite to connect roughly 45,000 students situated across hundreds of municipalities along the rivers of the Amazon basin with teachers located in Manaus, the capital city of the state of Amazonas. Via Direta will operate the hub on behalf of Rede Tiradentes.<\/p>\n
Via Direta will use iDirect\u2019s Evolution platform and X1 remotes to offer Internet access, long-distance learning programs and virtual tools that provide interactivity between isolated communities. According to iDirect, the company\u2019s remote commissioning solution, Satmotion Pocket, will be pivotal in supporting the aggressive installation schedule. Upon completion, the network will consist of 1,300 VSAT stations.<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernment data shows that only about one-third of all children in Brazil make it to the sixth grade,\u201d said Rob Kilroy, regional vice president of sales, iDirect. \u201cBeyond education, access to high-speed broadband will also introduce a world of new social and economic capabilities to the residents of Brazil that will change the quality of life for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
