[SatNews] A satellite link has been established to assist with online training and interactive sessions.

Pactel International assisted the largest marine training school in Asia-Pacific, MTC (Marine Training Centre), Kiribati, in developing their online courses and interactive learning sessions.  A satellite link was provided to campus in Kiribati to help satisfy the growing demand for these services. Because of its remote geographical location, the Republic of Kiribati’s economy is highhly reliant on quality maritime personnel to import and export goods and services, which encourages international trade between Kiribati and the rest of the world.  It is therefore crucial for the Marine Training Centre to continue to supply world-class training by having access to efficient and reliable communications infrastructure. Andrew Taylor, CEO of Pactel International, said, “We are pleased to provide this infrastructure to the Marine Training College, which in return, enables them to supply efficient training services the whole economy can depend on.
The link itself is provided via the NSS-9 satellite to provide high-speed internet connectivity to the training campus in Kiribati."
