 Toulouse, France (SPX) May 31, 2005
 CNES President, Yannick d'Escatha, and French Secretary of State for Land Planning, Frederic de Saint-Sernin, recently announced (May 20) the selection of four French municipalities to test out CNES's communications-enabled village concept.

Using satellite technologies combined with terrestrial components like Wi-Fi (Wireless-Fidelity) and Power Line Carrier (PLC), this experiment will bring broadband communications services to these pilot villages, fulfilling CNES's mission to make the applications of space technologies available to all and contributing to bridge the digital divide.

Each village will be equipped with a single satellite antenna providing a broadband Internet connection.

Tradesmen, schools, professionals and private citizens in the village will then be able to connect to the Internet easily via a Wi-Fi antenna receiving the radio signal broadcast over the village.

All located in south-western France, the four villages will be equipped with a single satellite antenna providing a broadband Internet connection.
