Abstract
he most popular communication means today is the Internet. The Internet is not only a
communication means but a boundary less information and knowledge highway. Internet
connection via satellite requires extensive and expensive infrastructure for a remote area. Without
proper infrastructure, communication to and from remote areas is almost impossible hence the
digital divide in remote areas. Subsequently there exists education gap due to digital divide due to
the lack of telecommunication infrastructure. Many have researched and implement projects such
as e-Bario, to find a solution to bridge digital divide and education gap, but both issues are too wide
areas to cover, and must be carried out with dedication from the parties involved in order to
suc~eed. As a result, digital divide and education gap are two issues that Parallel Solutions Sdn.
Bhd. intends to bridge and narrow down.
Parallel Solutions Sdn. Bhd. offers an economical satellite communication solution in
remote areas using MeshNet. MeshNet is hardware with embedded software which allows bidirectional
communication whilst closing the digital divide. With MeshNet connecting to the
internet via satellite, Parallel Solutions Sdn. Bhd. is proposing at improving schools' data
management and students' learning via high-speed satellite internet connectivity. The solution is
med Internet Students and Learning Management System (iLearnDB). MeshNet and iLearnDB
ould bring much knowledge that would help remote areas communities socio-economically.
