In an ideal world, online education, entertainment and information video, reach users through robust, reliable, broadband service networks. However, in many places around the globe, these types of networks are unavailable.

COSatellite Solutions, a Connected Life Solutions affiliate, has an innovative answer this problem.

Placing a simulated Wi-Fi hotspot transmitter that has at its base, all stored content that a digital content service provider makes available to users is the concept, in just a few words. Getting content to the base server is accomplished using a satellite serving the region. Applications both for managing the content as well as making it accessible by local users are part of the solution. The Wi-Fi signal is exclusively dedicated to the services provided, not access to the Internet.

Introducing LearningSpots and StreamSpots

COSatellite Solutions LearningSpots solution offers an “Internet-like experience” to support online learning without the student requiring an actual Internet connection. 

COSatellite Solutions has achieved this by integrating several partner technologies and services. 

With the capability to allow users with smartphones, tablets or TVs to engage with a browser or a specific App, 'online like' education services can be made possible without any Internet connectivity at the location where the students meet and connect to the LearningSpots.

COSatellite Solutions StreamSpots solution offers an “Internet-like experience” to support a user gaining access to information and entertainment content without the user requiring an actual Internet connection. 

COSatellite Solutions has achieved this by integrating several partner technologies and services. 

With the capability to allow users with smartphones, tablets or TVs to engage with a browser or a specific App, 'online like' access to information and entertainment content services can be made possible without any Internet connectivity at the location where the users connect to the StreamSpots.

According to UNESCO, there are globally over 263 million children, over a quarter of them pre-adolescent, that are not attending any type of education. The majority of these children live in areas of the world where access to the Internet is non-existent, or if available, unaffordable. If online education could somehow be made available, these children would still have no digital smart device, such as a tablet or a Chromebook, to access it.

COSatellite Solutions’ LearningSpots is a satellite-based and local Wi-Fi hotspot accessed platform that together with partners, has created a world-class learning opportunity for many locations that have this need. LearningSpots enables students to have a really cool, multimedia experience, in a remote location, with the lowest possible cost, and with the highest potential for user engagement and success.

Beyond bringing a rich digital content based online learning experience, a video entertainment and information-oriented StreamSpots solution is presented here as well. Able to locally feed smartphones, tablets or smart TVs with popular video movies, TV series and daily news broadcasts, the power of the satellite and local Wi-Fi hotspot access are together an innovative and welcome connection for much-desired content.

A satellite is the most price competitive and quickly deployable method to reach wide areas. The local LearningSpots or StreamSpots equipment is easy to set-up and has a low cost to initially construct and run.

There is a need to make educational, entertainment and information content available to the over 3 billion people living in the most remote parts of the world. COSatellite Solutions bridges the digital divide with its innovative approach to deliver a meaningful online experience to anywhere a satellite can reach. The potential outcome is to enhance the quality of life of many.
