Capacity Expansion
This is an essential part of the process of sustainability. Shawn Ring founded Assemble Communications, Charlotte, NC and has the technology and the compassion to help emerging nations with their communications system.
- Imagine, remote villages of Burundi, with children gathered in a large room, with a big screen projector, and they are receiving the finest education the country can offer.
- Imagine teachers becoming more knowledgeable by watching seminars in their villages, so as to bring the information to the entire community.
- Imagine learning about other cultures through video programming that will help us to better understand and appreciate our individuality and our likeness.
We have the technology. The time is now.
Excerpt from Assemble Communications www.assemblecom.com
Technology provides three main mediums for communication: voice, video, and data. Delivering all three through one pipe has long been the dream of international companies who have spent billions of U.S. dollars to bring this technology to where it is today. While most of these dollars have been spent on infrastructure in the western world, Assemble Global is focused on using this type of technology to bring voice, video, and data to everyone on the globe.
theySo what does all this mean? It is possible to provide voice, video, and data to customers around the globe because of the "Internet backbone." The "Internet backbone" is a network of fixed cabling that connects the major data centers in a country and around the world and is the means by which the voice, video, and data travel between users. Recent advances in satellite technology and wireless distribution now make it economically feasible to bring voice, video, and data to almost any part of the world.
In fact, using satellites makes it possible to bypass the traditional cabling required to access the data center. One can leap from being inaccessible to broadband internet in one step. The satellites communicate directly with a facility tied into the same Internet backbone that the conventional fixed base providers use. The expensive cabling required to connect to the data centers are avoided altogether by using satellites, making cost savings enormous!
Wireless distribution from the satellite connection to the government, business, or personal end-user provides the "last mile" access from the user to the Internet backbone. Utilizing satellites and wireless distribution technology, the locally owned company can now offer and provide voice, video, and data to their customers at a fraction of the cost of fixed based providers.
Affordable and available Internet connectivity creates the opportunity for everyone in the world to now participate in the global community and global economy. Once access to the Internet backbone is established, communities can access business models, educational resources, family connections, and much more online. It is almost impossible to fathom the transformation and impact this access to information will have once an area has affordable access to voice, video, and data services. It is exciting just to be a part of the global transformation taking place today.
The impact is huge. Once people come into community, they can be unified around a common purpose. The fruit of that collaboration is transformation. People of every nation have the answers to their own problems if they are given the resources and means to solve them.
