The Pan-Pacific Education and Communication Experiments
by Satellite or “PEACESAT” has been working to lessen the
information and communication technology (ICT) divide in the Pacific
Islands
region for over 30 years. The mission of PEACESAT is to facilitate “development”
and “public service” communications.
- "Development
communications" is the use of ICT to assist in the institution
and capacity building of an organization, community, state, or nation.
- "Public
service telecommunications" is the use of ICT for the purposes
of education; public awareness and participation; research; economic
development; health, medical services, and welfare; and emergency management
by government, education, health, and other non-profit organizations.
PEACESAT works collaboratively with partners in the
region to achieve its mission. Initially the PEACESAT network was based
solely on satellite telecommunications and now includes public and private
fiber, copper, and microwave network technologies.
This Web site will provide information about us, the
services we provide, projects that have been undertaken, and information
about our partners.
Please contact us if you have any questions or
need further assistance.
