Pocora, a quiet Caribbean “whistle stop” much like many others in this area saw its beginnings alongside the Atlantic Railroad at the start of the 20th Century and later grew next to Highway 32. Although there is nothing that stands out about the humble town, one thing that is certain is its friendly people and their sense of family and community. The Earth University has a location here and within their reserve is a site of archaeological intrigue called Las Mercedes. Not much is known about this site due to its destruction over the years but, it is said to be a development with platforms, cemeteries, walls, plazas, and roads built some 3000 years ago. But the town and surrounding area have not received much attention and as a result, it lacks some services.

One service that would help the community to grow and prosper is reliable #Internet. However, this is not a town that is on the list of many Internet Service Providers to explore. It doesn’t have the population to make it profitable to build the infrastructure on the ground. It doesn’t represent the profit a company would need to do so. But there is a solution and that is rural satellite Internet.

What is the Internet via satellite?

This system uses a satellite orbiting the Earth to transmit data between the user and the satellite. The signal is beamed directly to you so there are no cables or poles.

Is my area covered?

Yes. Itellum uses the HughesNet Jupiter2 satellite to bring the fastest satellite internet available to many rural areas like Pocora. The satellite covers 97% of the country and 400 rural installations have been completed in the last year.

Why is high-speed satellite better for the people in Pocora?

Rural areas like Pocora often have limited or no internet access options. With Itellum’s satellite broadband internet service, homes can enjoy high-speed Internet access, which is ideal for streaming, and everyday online activities.

How long do we have to wait before it is available?

It is available immediately. There is no need to wait for the lines to be strung like fiber optic, DSL, or cable Internet. This type of network constructed on the ground can take a long time to reach your area.

Doesn’t rain affect it?

No. Some people think might not work in bad weather like thunderstorms and strong winds. But Reliable Satellite Internet and Broadband resist water damage because there are no cables or hubs that can get wet. Itellum has new technology and a team of experts do professional installations and will set it up in a few hours. Just have your computer, tablet, or phone ready so you can use it when they finish!

I’ve been waiting for a phone line for years. Do I need one?

No phone line is needed. This is not DSL so the Fastest Satellite Internet Available is beamed directly to your receiver dish from the Jupiter2 satellite.

I work for a large company that already has high-speed internet. How does satellite internet benefit me?

If your primary system goes down High-Throughput Satellite Broadband acts as an excellent backup system so you will not have any downtime.

I have a farm and have existed without internet so far. Why would I want this?

Many new online systems help to monitor weather, crop yield, and the health of livestock. Fast Satellite Internet would give you a competitive edge.

Costa Rica’s only High-Speed Satellite Internet is proving to have a positive impact on the lives of the people and businesses in rural areas. Schools, medical facilities, emergency response units, and government services operations now have benefits that were not available to them before. Itellum had the vision to close the digital divide between the cities and the remote areas of Costa Rica. It has been working very hard to complete this mission by bringing Secure and Fast Satellite Services to rural communities. The #Pocora community is part of its inspiration.
