The canton of #Matina is one of many in #Limon that is based on agriculture; primarily bananas and pineapple among others. It’s one of several cantons in the province of Limon that are rich in farmland and also have Caribbean coastal boundaries. The area is peppered with small towns and fincas that are both productive and picturesque. The average elevation here is about 13 meters and is prone to flooding due to the numerous rivers and low-lying terrain. A bridge was recently constructed here to improve access for indigenous people and farmers of the area to make moving their produce easier. In the last few years, Matina has made efforts to attract tourism and generate investment. 

Matina may sound very attractive to the new influx of #DigitalNomads coming to #CostaRica. But there’s an essential service they must have, and that is reliable, fast #Internet. Like most areas far from the central valley, they are ignored by many internet service providers. However, now there’s a solution to this problem — High-Speed Satellite Internet!

Just last year Itellum was awarded the authorization to be the official ISP for #SatelliteInternet for the entire country. They are using the HughesNet Jupiter2 satellite to bring the Fastest Satellite Internet Available to 97% of Costa Rica. It’s here now. Let’s learn about Rural Satellite Internet and how it benefits Matina. 

More Business and More Jobs

Not only is this technology providing vital access to information for individuals but, it is also enabling local businesses to reach new customers cost-effectively with relatively low overhead costs. This opens up opportunities for new investments and creates jobs within #ruralcommunities that would previously have been left behind in terms of digital connectivity. High-Throughput Satellite Broadband opens up opportunities for people to look for employment and work remotely without the need to commute. 

Improvements in Education

Having access to Satellite Broadband Internet has allowed educational institutions like schools in rural areas to easily connect with one another and collaborate on projects using video conferencing software – something that had previously been a challenge due to unreliable connection speeds or lack of coverage altogether.

More Resources for Students

For many children living in rural communities who want a better education but do not have access to libraries or universities nearby, having Reliable Satellite Internet and Broadband opens up whole new worlds – from being able to do research online quickly without any delays, watching educational videos online related their courses of study, or finding mentors online who can help them develop skills on topics they are interested in learning more about.

More Entertainment and More Fun

Fast Satellite Internet in the home allows you to stream videos and music without delays, enjoy with people in your neighborhood and around the world. It provides more variety to community celebrations and programs such as night school.

More Reliability

With Secure and Fast Satellite Services there are no cables to reconnect, no poles that could collapse, and no waiting for a crew to come in and repair the damage. All that is eliminated because it is beamed directly to you from a satellite orbiting the Earth. Your connection is secure and you are not sharing it with others in your area.

No Need to Wait

The problem with traditional wired #Internet like DSL, cable, and fiber optics in remote areas is the infrastructure. It takes time, expensive equipment and supplies, and manpower to bring the terrestrial internet option to your location. It’s just not feasible for most ISPs. Itellum is able to install your system quickly and professionally. The only equipment needed is the modem and a small satellite dish which is included in your plan. And they are only a phone call away.

Itellum realized it needed to do something to bridge the “digital divide” and they are making #CostaRica’s only High-Speed Satellite Internet happen right now. It’s an exciting transformation and it just makes sense for remote communities like the canton of Matina. So you don´t have to wait more you can contact us now!
