Library Services

Spreading the word with remote Internet access

Modern libraries are not just full of books. They now need to provide a full service that takes into account the new digital media. Internet access and the wide range of reference and source material that can be accessed via the worldwide web is an essential element for today’s libraries.

Casual readers and active students both want and need to access the Internet as an entertainment and educational resource as well as using broadband connection for e-mailing and communicating with friends, relatives and colleagues.

And yet, within remote locations, the standard broadband connections are not available, which is why local authorities, such as the mobile library services of Northern Ireland and the Isle of Wight, are increasingly turning to Excelerate to provide the most appropriate technological solution.

By using our broadband satellite technology, which can be readily accommodated on board a mobile library vehicle, Internet access becomes so much easier no matter how remote or isolated the location.

In this way Excelerate is helping local authorities fulfil their obligations and reach out to communities that would otherwise be cut off from such an important resource. In short, we’re helping make sure that the web really is worldwide.
