In Ansaptu, Cape Coast, the Students Bridging the Information Gap organization has funded a new computer lab for New Life International Children’s Home, installed by 1Village. This lab will serve the students in the New Life School, Anglican School, Effutu D/A Primary and Junior High School.

SBIG provided the computer lab with 20 Inveneo computers, desks and chairs along with a library complex well equipped with relevant books and other library materials. In addition to the low voltage desktop computers, SBIG also provided a laptop computer, a laser printer, an LCD projector, a battery pack and inverter.

The computers have a mobile Internet solution using the Vodafone data chip with monthly plan with Easy Rout Internet Modem. They’re powered by a power backup system using an inverter system working with battery banks to filter the power running the systems and also support the systems for up to 8 hours in case power goes off.

The computers where hooked up to the server using a wired LAN networking as well as a wireless LAN using Ubiquiti Nano router. Server resources like Wikipedia and Internet are accessed both by cable and by wireless.
