The University José Martí Pérez of Sancti Spiritus (UNISS by its Spanish acronym) will benefit soon from the installation of WiFi technology, a mechanism that allows communication via wireless connection.

In exclusive interview with ACN, he explained that students and teachers who have laptops, tablets or smart phones can use the service in public spaces without being in a laboratory of the center because the devices have a range up to 100 meters.

According to the connectivity approved by the Ministry of Education for José Marti University, the technology will work with a speed of two megabytes per second to enter .cu domains and send emails between Cuban entities; while for accessing to foreign sites, the speed will be of 640 kilobyte per second.
