Honolulu / Hawaii / United States
For over 30 years, PEACESAT has been working to lessen the information and communication technology (ICT) divide in the Pacific Islands region. Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, its activities include conducting ongoing policy, planning, and technology systems research in development and civic service information and communications technology in the region. Its profile also entails assessing needs for ICT implementation. PEACESAT manages a telecommunications network that provides Internet access, video teleconferencing and multipoint bridging and voice communication services. Over the years, it has used a series of satellites (ATS-1, ATS-3, GOES-3, GOES-2, GOES-7) provided by the NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for development and public service telecommunications. In collaboration with regional partners, PEACESAT also helps to interconnect Pacific sites Intelsat links and fiber optics connections.
