Connectivity is the Key:Each communication component has its role
• A student has a variety of communication needs
• These are met by different technologies
• Traffic well suited for one may not be the right choice for another
• Regular distribution of the common needs of the students and live coaching are byte-intensive
• Yazmi pipe takes over this and relieves stress on terrestrial technologies

Yazmi Ecosystem Outcomes
Not all students have the same access to educational resources
Use webcasting of contents pulled from the web and pushed via the satellite
All Teachers and students can get the latest and most relevant information, without any distractions
Shortage of qualified instructors
Use of super teachers to coach all teachers near real time
The best teachers in the field could be used from wherever they are without any need for their travel
Not enough books or printed Materials
Create a e-library in each classroom with satellite-connected servers. Training local talents on content creation
Allows students and teachers to go over the content at their leisure as the content is stored in their respective tablets sent via Satellite
Power outages disturb the learning process
Support tablets and servers on the solar charger
Sustainability in the most disadvantaged areas
Shortage of laboratory facilities
Create the satellite-connected servers at the schools; Create virtual labs on local servers
Virtual labs and animations improve student learning
