The Launching of Veea Asia Ceremony on 26 June 2023 at HongKong Shue Yan University was accompanied by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between PT BUM Desa Group in Indonesia, Veea and iFREE GROUP to establish the West Java Digital Village Programme in which we will bring rural connectivity to more than 5,000 villages that will enable them to bring a range of tele-health, education and smart agriculture initiatives.
Dr. Eddy Limantoro, CEO of PT BUM Desa Group gave a presentation showing how the alliance opens up thousands of villages to benefit from iFREE GROUP and Veea’s smart technology innovations that they have not had access to so far. This will elevate their community services, health and education, connectivity and tourism to new levels.
The MOU outlines the intent to provide end-to-end telecommunications services, including direct-to-device Internet connectivity and IoT gateway services, as well as value-added services, such as streaming content, tele-education, tele-medicine, tele-training, precision agriculture and Smart Farming, public safety, forest preservation solutions and the Digital Village Project.
The partnership will also explore all the different Smart Cities options and will be a new and first of its kind proof of concept that can be rolled out to rural communities throughout the world.
