GRN reruns its online store with a new engine and new products. In addition to products for firewalls and VoIP PBXs, we released new sections to reinforce the philosophy maker and DIY.
The new store products allow you to introduce yourself in this world. We thought basically in the Arduino and Raspberry Pi OpenHardware platforms, which are the most popular now. In the shop you will also find accessories, some of them from adafruit.com.
Debian has just introduced its new stable version, 7.0. Debian uses character names from the movie “Toy Story” and the new version is called “wheezy”. The new version includes many new features, among which include cross-platform support, tools oriented to the new cloud technologies and a set of multimedia codecs to eliminate the need to install third party software.
We also note that the Debian operating system is available in Catalan and can be installed on multiple architectures, not only PCs but also modern devices like Raspberry Pi minicomputers. This version now supports the new UEFI boot systems. Over 36,000 free software packages at your disposal, updated to the latest versions and tested by the community of Debian developers.
Remember that when installing your Debian netinst version you can use GRN’s repositories found in debian.grn.cat

We had to do a facelift to our website and we’ve done it! Apart from cosmetic changes to conform more to the times, we have made changes that allow accessibility from mobile devices such smartphones and tablets. In addition, we have added new products, we have expanded the information and, importantly, we have incorporated the prices of most products.
We hope you like this new layout, continue making small improvements and welcome any suggestions!
As usual, GRN sponsors robotics La Salle Cassà’s school teams. These teams participate in the FIRST Lego League Girona. This year there have been two teams and one Junior FLL team. In the picture you can see the 3 teams with their coaches.
The Geeks de la nit team has won the award for best coach: “Recognition to the coach who has excelled in their dedication, patience, guidance and devotion.” This group consists of 6 boys and girls in 2nd and 4th ESO. The Androids Cassà is other team that has won the award for Robot Design: “Recognition to the team that has surprised by its innovative and creative work globally in mechanical design, programming and Robot Strategy and Innovation.” The group consists of 10 boys and girls ranging from 5th grade to 4th ESO.
For the first time in Girona also made a smaller meeting (early primary grades) with the presence of a third group of La Salle Cassà. The group was called MonsterHigh Cassà and consisted of 5 girls from 2nd to 4th grade.
You can see pictures of our teams on the website of AMPA school.
At the posts of the site cassadigital.cat the Foundació Princep de Girona has more information about the event.

The fax service is part of a technology over 100 years old and generally outdated. The transfer of pages and images is nowadays done with most modern ways such as email.
However, the fax is still used by many users and companies. For this reason GRN developed the IP Fax service, which can receive and send fax pages through email.
Being a service like email, please keep in mind that there are different attacks in Internet, such as phishing or spoofing where users pretend to be others. For this reason, GRN IP Fax service has various security measures to solve this problems.
To send a fax, you have to attach the PDF document in an e-mail intended for: <destination-number>.<security-code>@fax.grn.cat. If the originating email and the security code are correct, the fax will be sent to the destination number. Receptioning faxes is easy, the document is sent to your fax number and once it’s received by GRN we sent it to you through email in PDF format.

Uninterrupted electricity supply
GRN’s datacenter has an UPS system to ensure the operation of the servers in case of falling electricity supply. And if long-term losses, both UPS and the HVAC system have ensured the supply through a generator.
Temperature control
The servers need to work at temperatures below 20°C, which is why GRN’s datacenter has a redundant air conditioning system and connected to the generator.
Guaranteed and high quality bandwidth
Using the same infrastructure that allows us to provide good connectivity and features explained here, we can guarantee a bandwidth quality for connecting your server to the Internet.
Fixed IP address
The service includes a fixed IP address for your server connectivity to the Internet. If you need more IP addresses, we can offer a range of addresses.
Firewall Service
The service also includes Firewall service. The Firewall is always configured by GRN and It doesn’t have any cost client (provided that the number of rules and changes is reasonable).
To register an Internet domain is equivalent to register our trademark. If you have a domain, yoy have a name on the Internet which we associate to your website, your email addresses or any other service that uses the Internet domain names.
There are many types of domains, and ICANN (an international nonprofit organization) is the highest authority. The domains can be grouped into two groups: generic and territorial.
Generic domains are those that everybody can register without too many limitations, and whatever your nationality were. The most popular domains of this group are: .com, .net, .org, .info and .biz.
Territorial domains, however, associate our name in a particular country or territory. For example, in Catalonia .cat, in Spain .es, in France .fr, in Germany .de and so on. You can view the full list at this link. In each country there is a non-profit organization that is responsible for its management, and It controls the terms and conditions of registration of its domain. In Catalonia is PuntCAT Foundation and in Spain is EsNIC. The domain .cat is a reserved domain for the Catalan linguistic and cultural community. If you want to use it your website must have a minimum content in Catalan.
GRN can manage your domain throughout the whole process: registration, renewal, transfer, etc … Ask for information at admin@grn.cat.
And once I have my own domain what do I have to do? You can associate it to a GRN hosting plan.
The most common domains are:

.net |
