- Providing connectivity to the underserved remote communities with satellite broadband using cryptographic truth.
I believe the future of signing up and serving the underserved communities with telco broadband service will be in the form of dynamic NFTs.
It is a futuristic approach proof-of-concept for automating manual processes in the Satellite Broadband Service by replacing paper contracts with hybrid smart contracts across synergies from suppliers/vendors, finance, sales, logistics with assets tracking to both partners and end users.
It demonstrates the journey of solutions in both equipment and bandwidth as dynamic NFTs on blockchain augmented by the use of the Chainlink oracle to connect off-chain data feeds and can also tigger off-chain events.
The Satellite Broadband Service Chain is the sequence of activities and processes involved in shipping equipment from suppliers/vendors to the broadband satellite operator. The satellite operator then package them together with broadband solutions to serve telecommunications operators, internet service providers, governments, other service providers and end users.
Moreover, this project in itself is a DeFi payment gateway for remote underserved communities. It also bridge the gap that is not provided by the existing banking infrastructure.
In summary, this project is the world's first direct to consumer marketplace for satellite broadand solutions and for asset-backed dynamic NFTs. It will benefit all stakeholders with the empowerment of cryptographic truth to ensure definitive truth in providing connectivity to the underserved communities by bridging the geographical boundaries thus aliviating the digital divide and leaving no one behind.
