ASUDES and Concordia Award Free Laptops to Baja Students: Social Enterprise In Action

ASUDES, through Pax Terra, a provider of marketing, public relations and community outreach services, installed an internet-ready wireless access network in the three towns as part of the overall ASUDES plan. The wireless networking systems provide internet-distributed satellite-broadband in each community, with a speed of 1.5Mbps/512Kbps with VoIP for voice transmission.

In addition, ASUDES sponsors an internet room that will provide services to the community, and which offers classroom training provided by professional experts in both internet technology and visual media, such as video and photography.

The delivery of computer equipment

During the delivery of computer equipment and the initiation of the wireless internet service, Frederick H. Earnest, President of Vista Gold Corp., emphasized that these are the first of many programs that aim to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of this part of Baja California Sur, bringing them access to new technology and the worldwide web.

"Concordia bases its approach on working continuously for the welfare of the People, Planet and the Prosperity in Baja California Sur. It is very satisfying to contribute in this way by providing young students with better tools to increase and improve their communication skills. This is a clear demonstration of how people can benefit from ASUDES' programs," said Earnest.

The communities of San Antonio

They stated that these actions of ASUDES support the communities of San Antonio, El Triunfo and El Rosario by offering the means to connect to new global communication channels and gain access to new information and a worldwide perspective as a first step in increasing the opportunities of the people of the area.
