Why Satellite?
⇒ Rural, remote, sparsely populated areas
⇒ Mountains/ valleys
⇒ Islands/ marshlands
⇒ Cost of connec@ng one rural user is exactly the same as connec@ng one urban user
⇒ Investments into satellite area already made
Satellites reach areas that other
technologies cannot reach

" Installa:on of a dish: can be on the side of a house, a shop, a library, a hospital, a farm, or a school
" A modem
How it works?
An immediate, hi-‐tech solu:on
for home/business & community solu:ons
5
Is it affordable?
Such examples exist in every EU Member State

Broadband for all event

“Broadband for all”

Connec8vity in the EU
✓
✗
100% Broadband Coverage
63% of 9 year olds miss the digital equipment & Internet access they need at school 50% -‐ 80% of students have never used digital textbooks, exercise soYware, broadcast, simula8ons or learning games There is s8ll a digital gap at a 8me when integra8on of ICT in educa8on is a top priority for governments Today for example 17000 schools in France are s8ll with “no/slow” Internet connec8vity

Tailored Satellite Solu:ons for Schools

Contents are consumed on any device at any 8me
Enormous poten:al to improve EU educa:onal outcomes & increase access to informa:on & collabora:on between students across borders
Each classroom digital:
Contents: High-‐quality videos, e-‐books, learning games, interac:ve maps, other educa:on tools
Satellite exploits synergies between broadband (interac8vity) & broadcas8ng (distribu8on) technologies:
Media-‐rich, high-‐quality, educa:onal content is either retrieved via an interac:ve network or delivered through a distribu:on channel
=> Important for students & teachers
Current digital trends
12
Distribu:on via satellite brings early provision & adds (economic) value:
Where fibre not rolled-‐out For simultaneous delivery of “heavy” contents to mul:ple schools
School curricula are known in advance:
Valuable informa:on for ISPs to create interes:ng products
Can drive more efficient networks that allow localised & tailored content to be ‘stored’ & available for a fast & on-‐demand experience
=> Important especially in MSs with poor Internet infrastructure
Benefits of Satellite Connec8vity

Educate with Space & Satellites !
Sci-‐fi in rural schools!
Have you ever met a child who wasn’t
fascinated by space?!

ESOA remains commi.ed to working with the European ins8tu8ons to make Every Classroom Digital
