With this new stage, ORBITH adds its vast experience in serving public organizations, guaranteeing that the service is a real transformation tool for teachers and students.

We found in ORBITH a fundamental strategic partner to ensure connectivity in schools distributed throughout the entire provincial territory, especially highlighting its deployment capacity and technical support,» he noted. Marcelo Herrera, Manager of NECTA.

Cutting-edge technology for the classroom of the future

When a school is connected, it opens the possibility of accessing learning platforms and innovation tools that are essential for students and teachers today.»

«For ORBITH, this milestone represents another step in its trajectory of collaboration with the State to solve communication problems in critical areas, positioning itself as the key reference for high reliability projects in complex environments. Our vision has always been to break down the geographical barriers that limit the growth of communities. This new stage in Mendoza is a testimony of our federal vocation. At ORBITH we understand that connectivity in rural areas is not a luxury, but a right that levels opportunities for future generations. We will continue to join challenges that seek to connect every governmental and academic entity in the country, no matter how far away they may be,” he said to conclude. Agustín Lebrero.
