 We all take broadband for granted these days, but for a few countries there is still the slight problem of not even having the technology available.
However the good news is that an EU-funded project has been put in place to help bring broadband to millions of companies and households in South America.
The project, called Broadband to Rural America over Satellite Integrated Links (BRASIL), brings together Europe’s leading providers of broadband over satellite technology.
The delivery of broadband services over satellite is very appropriate for the South American market because of the large geographical extension of the involved areas, and the need for a cost effective, efficient and highly scalable solution.
BRASIL will promote DVB-RCS (Digital Video Broadcast – Return Channel Satellite) technology, which has the most significant advantage of being an open standard, meaning that competition is encouraged and end users have a choice in service and hardware providers.
