Brazil’s Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications has signed a 60-month contract with Telebras to provide a continuous bidirectional data transmission service for the expansion of the Electronic Government Program (Gesac). The goal is to bring broadband internet to all Brazilian regions. For this, Telebras will provide its connection infrastructure, which involves the company's fibre optic network and the Geostationary Defense and Strategic Communications Satellite (SGDC).
The project is expected to begin in the first half of 2018. In the first year of the contract, rural schools - about 3 million students - will receive priority attention, as will Army border units, basic health units in rural villages, and more than 200 indigenous villages.
