In fact, 40% of rural residents travel 30 minutes or more just to receive medical care of any type. Our broadband satellite Internet service can significantly improve the quality of medicine you provide your rural patients. Our telemedicine solutions allow quick sharing of digital images, such as X-rays, mammographies and CT scans with consulting physicians in urban medical centers. You can also share data such as EEG, EKG or video feeds, and hold two-way audio and video conferences.

Business continuity is redundant Internet access that gives your business the ability to automatically switch traffic among multiple Internet connections. When one link goes down, you get WAN/ISP failover that automatically switches your critical Internet traffic to your FTI connection. Meanwhile, QoS prioritization guarantees bandwidth to your most important applications.

In May of 1997, the FCC adopted a Universal Service Order implementing the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The Order ensures that all eligible schools and libraries have affordable access to telecommunications and information services. The FCC also established the Schools and Libraries Universal Service Program. Through this program, funds are available to provide eligible schools and libraries with discounts—often referred to as the “E-Rate”—for authorized services, beginning January 1, 1998.

FTI (SPIN 143033413) Internet access is an authorized service, and both public and many private schools are allowed to participate. FTI is a proud supporter of the E-Rate program. Your school could be eligible to receive a discount on our service.

The Schools and Libraries Corporation (SLC), a non-profit entity established by the FCC, administers the Schools and Libraries Universal Service Program. The SLC can be reached at 1-888-203-8100 or you can fax a question to 1-888-276-8736.
