Batán, a small Caribbean-side town that is an authentic community primarily based on agriculture is yet another place along the old railway. More of an “Old-style” town where everybody knows everybody and holiday parades are well-celebrated events. This area is only 15 meters above sea level and it and the surrounding area have seen their share of flooding. There is a fire station and even a small airport that is mainly for the crop dusters that serve the surrounding farms.

The two things that are a real hazard to this farming community are fire and floods. That makes the necessity for reliable communication a must. Today’s method of communication is fueled by the Internet access is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity.

The problem is many ISP companies don’t service this location simply because it’s too expensive for them to travel there and construct the infrastructure that their services require. But there is a solution and that is the new generation of Internet via satellite.

Let’s explore some of the facts.
