ISRO satellite network known as the edusat connects four of our main campuses (Ettimadai, AIMS, Amritapuri and Bangalore), of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham in three states. The satellite link can make a two-way audio/video communication channel with a high bandwidth capability. Students from any of the Amrita campuses can not only attend, but can also interact in lectures taking place in other campuses. The high bandwidth satellite network has made Amrita University a fully interactive, multimedia capable, multi-disciplinary virtual university - the first of its kind in the nation without geographical constraints.
