Ciena (NYSE: CIEN), Digicel Fiji and Southern Cross have jointly launched Project Semata, an initiative to provide high-speed internet access and online learning resources to three schools in Savusavu, Fiji. The initiative will give dedicated direct 10Mbps internet access to the Digicel Fiji network to all students and teachers at the Kamendra School, Savusavu Secondary School and St. Bedes Secondary School.
Only a small percentage of the students at these schools in Savusavu currently have access to broadband internet at home. This initiative will give students and teachers at these schools much-needed learning resources as well as the opportunity to build skills crucial to a digital economy.
Savusavu Secondary School principal, Rusiate Musudroka extended his sincere appreciation for the work done in providing free internet to the school.
Project Semata will support schools in Pacific Island communities for the next two years.
