Take a trip just southwest of Lake Cachí on the winding roads to Orosí surrounded by captivating green mountains and coffee plantations with the Reventazón River alongside the town. It is breathtaking and said to have the oldest Catholic church still in use in Costa Rica. The history and the beauty of this town make it an idyllic place to live and with being only 40 km from San José, you would think you’d have the best of all worlds. If you don’t mind the rain and the one-hour drive into San José, it is a great place to visit and an attractive place to live.

But this hidden gem may have one setback —the #Internet can be hard to come by. So, residents of #Orosi and surrounding communities, we have some good news for you.

Just last year, the government approved to provide Internet to remote areas of the country, and Itellum was approved as the first satellite service provider for that purpose. 

Since then Itellum has been successful in providing Internet via Satellite to remote areas of Costa Rica, with over 400 rural installations. Living in rural areas no longer means being severed from the Internet. High-speed satellite internet services, connect businesses, schools, medical facilities, government institutions, and emergency services, among others, to reliable and fast internet services.

Why Rural Satellite Internet?

Other internet systems such as cable, DSL, and fiber optics need a wired infrastructure requiring the installation of cables and hubs to bring the service to you. This means increased manpower, vehicles, equipment, and supplies, and of course, these expenses are passed on to you in the monthly fees. For many internet service providers, it just doesn’t make economic sense. These types of services might be offered in the future in your area but, it is going to take an undetermined amount of time.

Does it cover my area?

Yes. Utilizing the HughesNet Jupiter2 satellite, Itellum can offer the Best Satellite Broadband Possible to 97% of the country’s geographical area including difficult-to-reach areas with challenging terrain. If you’re a bit off the beaten track, Itellum has you covered.

But we get a lot of rain here…

The amount and frequency of rain in Orosi and the surrounding area aren’t a major worry. Many people believe that satellite internet is prone to fail during thunderstorms and windy conditions. Since there are no cables and exterior connections to hubs that are shared with other users, the infiltration of water is not a concern. New technologies coupled with Itellum teams of experienced technicians minimize these types of problems and will have you connected in a matter of hours. Just have your computer, tablet, or smartphone ready.

I don’t have a telephone landline. Do I need one?

No. High-Throughput Satellite Broadband Internet is beamed directly to your receiver dish from the Jupiter2 satellite. No phone line is needed.

How does the community benefit?

Secure and Fast Satellite Services keep data safe from viruses and hackers because satellite transmission is secure and without an interception. Teachers can improve their course materials and students have access to distance education programs and a wealth of information on the net in their classrooms and at home. Businesses can store their data safely in the cloud and access it when needed. Video conferencing and online webinars can be invaluable for expanding their client base. Streaming movies don’t buffer endlessly. And Fast Satellite Internet is recovered quickly after an outage caused by downed poles and wires that could interrupt service for hours or even days until a service crew can attend to the problem.

#Orosi is a beautiful place to live and enjoy, and now it just got even better with Costa Rica’s only High-Speed Satellite Internet by Itellum. So you don´t have to wait more. Contact us now!
