University of the South Pacific in Fiji; and, the University of Hawaii.
Satellite workshops, student exchanges, and country overviews of telecommunications
and distance learning were some of the topics that were presented
over the network. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications installed
a satellite antenna to enable PEACESAT to be connected to the network.
The Communications Research Laboratory of the Japan MPT performed
the switching through its Kashima Station.
