ATNS contribute to refurbishing of rural South African school

Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) SOC has contributed to the refurbishing of a rural school's library, by providing much-needed Information and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure which include Broadband Internet Connectivity and End-User Equipment.

The library was officially opened on Monday.

To date, an end-to-end IT solution that includes YTEACH programme content has been installed.

ATNS’ long term objective is to provide ICT centres in a number of schools located in rural areas, primarily to accelerate socio-economic development and to achieve freedom from distance through good telecom and internet services.

ATNS CEO, Thabani Mthiyanesaid: “It is through the goodwill of this community that we are able to address the school’s needs. We aim to create and maintain a strong and respectful relationship with this community. We will seek regular engagement about issues that may affect them. And we aim to contribute to the creation of more prosperous and empowered communities. Our presence here means that we have a special responsibility to uplift and bring prosperity to this community.”
