*Sunday June 27 - How Cellular Data can Reach *Distant* Schools*
By Roger Glasel, CEO eeZee Communicarions Inc,
http://www.eezee.ca
/Clarif:/ many of us will gather 4PM (SHARP) at OLPC's office in
Cambridge,
Massachusetts to listen to Roger present his slides from
Edmonton, Alberta.
Sorry doors are locked after 4PM -- RSVP if you will attend in
person!
Roger will explain how you can put your school online,
even if you
live in a remote area just outside the reach of your
cellphone's
normal calling areas. The technology does not require the
cellphone company advance permission, and requires only
a $700-$2500 device that dramatically boosts your regular
cellphone data plan's signal, using all modern protocols:
