The Government of Guyana has achieved a major milestone in Guyana’s digital transformation with the successful implementation of its Lower Earth Orbiting (LEO) Satellite Connectivity Project in 203 hinterland communities, reaching over 120,000 citizens, a release from the Office of the Prime Minister announced on Wednesday.
The LEO Satellite Connectivity Project, the release explained, is a key component of Guyana’s digital transformation strategy and is part of the WiFiGY programme, which provides free internet access in public spaces across the country. This project goes beyond just connectivity; it focuses on improving digital skills and ensuring everyone can access important online resources and e-learning platforms like the Guyana Online Academy of Learning (GOAL). The LEO project also supports economic growth by creating new job opportunities and encouraging innovation as communities connect to the digital economy.
