StarBand last Wednesday (October 27) announced a partnership with Haiti based Compusat, a computer assembler and vendor. Compusat will sell and install StarBand's entire family of high-speed Internet services to their customers on the Island of Haiti including the recently introduced StarBand 481 Residential, StarBand 481 Telecommuter, and StarBand 484.
"The StarBand Internet by satellite solutions will be used on the Island of Haiti to provide connectivity to many small businesses and residential customers," says Sergey Gaillard, Chief Executive Officer for Compusat.
"StarBand is a natural extension to our core business and will help us expand our tradition of providing outstanding customer service by introducing this greatly needed solution to our customers."
In addition to selling StarBand to residential and small office customers, Compusat will offer StarBand systems at no charge to public schools, hospitals and clinics to assist those in need of access but without the financial means to obtain the high-speed Internet.
Compusat will also help children and families in rural areas of Haiti by providing access to the wealth of education and communication opportunities only available with the introduction of StarBand's high-speed satellite Internet service.
"Compusat is a wonderful partner for StarBand and is another success story in our service area expansion efforts," stated Howard Lossing, Vice President of Marketing for StarBand. "Haiti was a market waiting for a high-speed Internet solution, and StarBand is pleased to be Compusat's solution of choice."
