Technology brings Internet to disaster areas
Treadstone Consulting is bringing the Internet into disaster areas through its VSAT or Very Small Aperture Terminal communication, which provides Internet connection using satellite connectivity.
Treadstone Consulting, which used VSAT technology to bring relief to the tsunami disaster areas in Indonesia, expects to provide these services to those affected by the recent earthquake in Indonesia.
VSAT is effective in these second- and third-world countries because it does not need a cable based infrastructure to provide Internet access, according to Ryan Wilson, managing director. This also allows VSAT to provide dependable bandwidth to disaster areas.
