BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, April 24 (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): Connectivity forms an integral part of a person’s daily life, something that is always taken for granted. But in rural and remote areas, Internet connectivity or cellular reception are virtually non-existent.

Pupils and teachers of DMS Dian Sukang Primary School and the residents of Kampong Melilas Longhouse are now able to experience broadband Internet connection from their smart phones and laptops, thanks to the Internet connectivity via the Kacific Satellite Service by Network Integrity Assurance Technologies Sdn Bhd (NiAT).
