Although it has a sizable population, some people would call #Cañas “Cowboy Country”, and it certainly has that “vibe”. There is a feeling of the wild west and classic Costa Rican traditions mixed with what seems to be a community unaffected by the ever-changing world. Wake up and make a fresh pot of coffee; the aroma from the bakery draws you inside to buy some bread as the school children in their crisp, clean uniforms walk to school, chatting and laughing. By noon you are hungry and stop at your favorite soda for a casado and a refresco. If you live beyond the town, you might be on your way to a beef cattle or dairy farm and you might even take your horse instead of a car.

You won’t find the fancy name-brand stores you see in the shopping malls of San José. Nor will you find high-rise office towers or sprawling condominium complexes. But it’s just far enough from #Liberia to be convenient if the need should arise. However, the agricultural area has a few surprises. There are kilometers of rice paddies, sugar cane, and aloe vera is also grown here for use in juices and topical creams and gels. What is really a departure from the norm is the production of tilapia. A huge sustainable operation just south of town farms tilapia for national consumption and exportation. It seems like a diverse economy that has a lot going for it. But depending on where you are located, you might be lacking Internet service you can count on. That’s where rural satellite internet service can be a significant enhancement.

Tim Foss, Founder, and CEO of Itellum, an internet service provider, recently had this to say, “We will connect as many under-connected and disconnected students, teachers, schools, health facilities, rural towns, beaches, parks, and Indigenous zones as quickly as possible throughout Costa Rica with HughesNet High-Speed Satellite Internet…”

With over 400 rural installations in the past year alone, Itellum High-Throughput Satellite Internet covers 97% of Costa Rica using the Jupiter 2 satellite. This means that even the most rural of communities are now enjoying seamless connectivity.

Here are some facts to think about;

Inclement Weather Resistant: New technology and professional installation techniques make the Internet via Satellite more resistant to winds and water infiltration.

Households: Homes, especially those in remote areas, can have access to Reliable Satellite Internet and Broadband for streaming entertainment and communication.

Businesses: Secure and Fast Satellite Services allow for remote work, uploading and downloading files faster, access to cloud storage, and security of confidential data. With all of this, productivity increases and the system is scalable; meaning it can be adjusted as your business grows.

It can also serve as a backup system to your primary internet service ensuring that you have uninterrupted connectivity at all times.

Agricultural Operations: Farmers and agricultural employees can monitor their crops such as rice, sugar cane, and aloe vera. Livestock and aquaculture operations can pursue new technologies and keep abreast of market trends by utilizing the Best Satellite Broadband Possible.

Medical Facilities & Emergency Response Teams: The Fastest Satellite Internet Available allows these essential services more efficient communications resulting in better health care and more saved lives.

Quick Disaster Recovery: In the event of a disaster such as heavy rain, downed poles from natural causes, or a traffic accident, High-Speed Satellite Broadband Internet ensures quick recovery and minimizes interruptions in connectivity.

Schools: With Satellite Broadband Internet, schools benefit from the wealth of distance learning programs available. Teachers can provide better learning experiences and students can connect, learn, and share knowledge like never before.

Costa Rica’s only High-Speed Satellite Internet can improve the operations of local government offices, provide better surveillance and security options, and better communication among communities.
