Parrita is probably best known as that town before you get to the famous Quepos and Manuel Antonio. However, #Parrita is a canton in the district of Puntarenas and covers an area of just under 500 square kilometers, most of which you don’t see as you drive down the highway to the town. You see the endless trees of the palm plantations that provide livelihoods for many people in the area. There are many meandering rivers in the valleys of the coastal mountain range, small pockets of homes, and a rural population that seems hidden to many.

As the world becomes more digital with each passing day, Internet access has now become a must-have amenity for every household, business, or institution. However, this privilege has not yet reached every corner of Costa Rica – particularly in rural areas with no access or unreliable Internet. That’s where, Itellum comes in, making high-speed satellite Internet access available to areas where traditional land-based Internet infrastructure cannot reach.

Before delving into the benefits of satellite Internet, it’s helpful to understand how it functions. Rural satellite Internet transmits data through space, leveraging powerful satellites orbiting the Earth to receive and send data signals to the user’s antenna. This eliminates the need for physical cable or DSL infrastructure, which often takes years to develop and deploy to remote areas. Internet via Satellite has come a long way in terms of speeds and data usage capacity, making it an excellent option for #rural residents, schools, and businesses.

One significant advantage that satellite Internet has over traditional land-based infrastructure is accessibility. Satellite internet services only require a satellite dish to be connected to the Internet, which means that users don’t have to wait years for terrestrial infrastructure such as DSL, fiber optics, or cable internet – which may never arrive in dificult-to-reach areas. This accessibility is giving remote locations new horizons, helping to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural communities.

Here are some benefits of Itellum’s high-throughput satellite broadband service:

Faster Internet Speeds

Itellum’s Satellite Internet Service offers fast satellite Internet speeds, the fastest in #CostaRica – which allows users to surf the web, stream videos, and music, and play online games seamlessly. Their sophisticated satellite network uses the HughesNet Jupiter2 satellite, which covers 97% of Costa Rica, making it the Fastest Satellite Internet Available in the country.

Increased Business Productivity


Remote businesses that operate in #rural areas often face the challenge of Internet connection instability and low speed, which can negatively impact their efficiency and overall productivity. Reliable Satellite Internet and Broadband addresses these challenges, providing businesses with fast, secure, and consistent web access. This allows them to communicate and collaborate remotely, leverage cloud-based technology, and access the online business tools they need to grow and succeed.

Enhanced Educational Opportunities

Not only does Itellum’s Secure and Fast Satellite Services help businesses thrive in rural areas, but it also benefits rural institutions such as schools that are often limited by their geographic location. With faster Internet speeds and reliable connectivity, students in rural areas can now access online learning tools, participate in video conferencing, and interact with teachers and classmates in real time, all of which help to enhance their learning experiences.

Improved Healthcare Facilities and Services

In rural areas, internet connectivity can be a matter of life or death for patients who need medical attention, Itellum’s Secure and Fast Satellite Services are essential for healthcare facilities in remote areas, allowing them to access electronic health records, download patient files in real-time, and consult with doctors in other locations through video conferencing, ultimately improving the quality of patient care available.

Eco-friendly and Emergency Efficient

Satellite Internet is an eco-friendly option compared to traditional land-based internet infrastructure. The installation of satellite dishes consumes less energy and fewer natural resources, reducing its overall carbon footprint. Less wasted energy or reliance on fossil fuels to power a physical infrastructure on the ground makes satellite Internet a more environmentally sustainable option. And reconstructing terrestrial internet after a natural disaster takes a long time. Parrita, like many areas of the country, is not exempt from flooding, severe storms, landslides, and earthquakes. High-Speed Satellite Broadband Internet can be recovered quickly after a natural catastrophe, aiding in crucial communications in the event of an emergency.

Costa Rica’s only High-Speed Satellite Internet is transforming how people in rural areas connect and do business. Don’t let geographic location limit your potential. Contact Itellum and leap ahead of the digital divide!
