Convenient Connection for Remote Schools
In response to the FCC's decision to dedicate $2.25 billion to connect every remote school and library, Helius, Inc. has introduced the Helius E-Rate Bundle. The product and service solution provides schools with complete Internet connectivity under one roof. Coming complete with the Helius Satellite Router, a mini-satellite dish and the recurring access service, as well as Virtual Technician remote support, all Helius Bundle setup and recurring costs qualify for the E-rate.
Using Helius Optimized satellite interface technology, it is possible to deliver concurrent Internet access to as many as 250 users at speeds up to two times faster than T-1."Expensive phone lines can take months to install," said Helius CEO Myron Mosbarger. "Schools can have a mini dish installed and be up and running in two to four hours at a fraction of the cost."
Offered with the E-Rate Bundle is the Virtual Technician service. It enables Helius support representatives to configure, service and maintain a school system's Internet connectivity anywhere in the world from company headquarters in Utah, eliminating the delays and expense of waiting for service technicians to come to the site.
