Helius helps
make world a bit smaller
As far as getting high-speed Internet access, St. Mary's
School in Alaska might as well have been on Mars. The
school is the centerpiece of a village with 550 residents
that can be reached only by airplane or, in summer,
by boat or barge. It's 440 miles west and a little north
of Anchorage. "If it wasn't for modern technology, we'd
definitely be a Third World country," said Gary Greseth,
school superintendent. Satellite technology brings the
village TV and telephone connections. And now, thanks
to a system developed by an Orem company called Helius,
fast Internet access.

High-speed
access assessed: Fiber may be poised to move closer
to the home, where it can support numerous high-bandwidth
applications
DirecPC uses a telephone hookup to send requests to
the Internet, then uses the satellite to send the signals
back. While this service seemed to be aimed initially
at the residential market, Hughes, together with Cisco
and Helius, also has announced the availability of DirecPC
for NetWare, a server-based information delivery service
for many applications, including shared Internet access
and file distribution.

Satellite
offers speedy access
Uxbridge, Ont., northeast of Toronto, isn't exactly
the middle of nowhere. But Paul Watson, the administrator
of Uxbridge Secondary School's computer network, discovered
it might as well be when he went looking for high-speed
Internet access. ''Bell Canada's been slow at getting
high-speed access to us, because we're in the north,''
he said. So with no T-1 or ISDN lines available for
the school network, Watson turned to a hybrid high-speed
access design from Orem, Utah-based Helius, Inc. Helius's
DirecPC Network Edition product uses both land-line
connections and one-way satellite transmissions to give
users high-speed Internet access.

Helius Looks
Above For New Solution
Navajo Community College, the first tribally controlled
institution for higher education in the United States,
is using a networking system based on satellites in
geosynchronous (Earth stationary) orbit. This innovative
solution was developed by Helius Inc., Orem. In some
cases, geographic conditions were so remote that not
even basic POTS were available.

Corporations
Turning To Cable, Satellites
Purveyors of high-speed satellite and cable Internet
access have traditionally targeted consumers, but more
and more vendors--such as satellite/LAN-integration
software maker Helius Inc. and cable-modem services
company MediaOne--believe their offerings can also help
solve the corporate dilemma of network bandwidth strain
by moving activities like Web browsing off of conventional
company lines.

Former execs from Lotus and Novell are highly visible
players -- Start-ups Swell In The Wake Of Mergers
Cyberpath Inc., NetVision Inc., Helius Inc., Digital
Harbor, KeyLabs, and scores of other companies focusing
on networking and the Internet have been launched by
ex-Novell and ex-WordPerfect executives in Utah. "This
is really a mecca for start-ups because of the tremendous
pool of intelligent, well-educated individuals. A lot
of them are successful and can spend their own money,
as well," said Ralph Yarro, general manager of the Canopy

funded several start-ups. The Canopy Group is headed
up by Ray Noorda, former chairman and chief executive
