Eight months after the start of the Cabocom ((Livre)) wireless service, the company has now started upgrading the subscriptions speed to 512kb, and also planning to extend it to all its packages within the next few months while still practicing the same prices as before.

Along with this upgrade, Cabocom has been perfecting its coverage within the area of Santa Maria as well as in the hotels, resulting in the addition of Hotel Sab Sab to the already existing list of hotels with the ((Livre)) connection, namely Hotel Dunas de Sal and Hotel Crioula.

In most of these hotels, clients can purchase their ((Livre)) vouchers which allow them internet wireless access in the reception area. In addition, the number of agents selling vouchers in Santa Maria has also increased, creating more spots where tourists can purchase their vouchers without having to go too far.

Cabocom’s main purpose is to achieve full coverage within all hotels of Santa Maria as well as within the village itself before effectively expanding to Murdeira and Espargos, which is already being planned by the company.

Apart from having very competitive prices, the great novelty introduced by Cabocom is a completely wireless internet service named ((Livre)). As the name of this services clearly states, this system allows total freedom and mobility enabling the user to work from anywhere with total commodity and comfort and being ideal for tourists, companies, residents and any other visitors to the island.

Having a really easy access, residents and all those living in Santa Maria on a more permanent basis can use the system by making a monthly subscription. Tourists and general visitors are not left out and can also access the internet by using vouchers that can be purchased in the company’s office, at an authorized agent and, in most of the cases, in their hotel’s reception.

In a place with such an excellent climate and perfect beaches, Cabocom’s ((Livre)) wireless internet has turned out to be the perfect working tool allowing people to do their work or simply browse the internet without missing out the lovely sunny days.

Santa Maria, in Sal Island, already has full ((Livre)) coverage and the company is already expanding the system so that very soon it will also be covering the village of Espargos. The next step will be moving on to the other island until full national coverage has been achieved.

Cabocom’s CEO, Miguel Lopes, states “We, at Cabocom, aim to provide, first and foremost, a quality and efficient service. Our system ((Livre)) has allowed everyone to have an easy wireless access to the internet, making people’s lives much easier. Simultaneously, our purpose in implementing this new technology is to bring a new direction to the telecommunications market and open the doors to the entrance of several other new technologies, thus contributing for the already ongoing development. ”
