## Resource

How do you keep a remote school connected — not just on day one, but for years? In this episode of Signal to Soar , Vaibhav Magow , Vice President of the International Division at Hughes, explains what it really takes to make rural school connectivity reliable and scalable. From satellite backhaul enabling 4G and 5G expansion, to the role of the Jupiter System and hybrid GEO/LEO networks, this conversation explores how infrastructure decisions shape educational access across Africa and Asia-Pacific. When connectivity holds, classrooms expand. And when classrooms expand, communities grow.
