Inveneo Wireless Network - Second Phase to Begin Soon

Inveneo completed its BATI training in Mirebalais, from which they graduated 15 technicians who will be working on the new wireless network. The second phase of this project - which consists in the implementation of the network - will begin soon.

Inveneo is committed to bringing real opportunity to Haiti in 2011 through the Rural Broadband Connectivity Program, a partnership between Inveneo and local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Haitian entrepreneurs.

The Bati Anfòmatik Teknisyen yo ak Inveneo (BATI) program will build a connectivity model that will reach and serve clients (schools, NGOs, enterprises and others) cost effectively, through:

• Accelerated deployment of a high speed, broadband wireless network in rural population centers
• Training and certification of Haitian IT entrepreneurs to deploy, operate and support this network
• A sustainable business model of local network ownership and operations for the broadband wireless network,
• Deploying new, relevant technology in education to increase ICT knowledge and usage.
