ASET CAPSTONE PROJECT OF THE YEAR AWARD Sustainable Satellite Internet for the Developing World (Remote Peru) NAIT FORMER NAIT TECHNOLOGY STUDENTS Natasha Bergstrom-Baier, Abdallah Farah, Jacob Maxwell, Steven Sager and Spencer Tracy are the recipients of this year's Capstone Project of the Year Award. Their project created a cost-effective concept for providing internet access to off-grid and remote communities where internet and even power are lacking. The concept uses a wirelessly distributed Starlink-based solution with a custom solar battery power supply for off-grid use. Starlink is part of Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, which is launching thousands of satellites to build the Starlink internet relay mega-constellation in low-earth orbit. Starlink offers several advantages over traditional satellite internet services, enabling the former NAIT team to fulfil the goals for the concept.
