Innovation
There are remote areas in Idaho where internet access isn't available. Some remote sheds are two weeks on and two weeks off, and communications between sheds is limited. Starlink is a low-Earth orbit satellite network that can provide a significant improvement over the current service in these areas. It's also less expensive -- in some cases significantly less -- than the current circuits and services ITD uses and could be used for temporary applications like emergencies.
Benefit and Implementation
Starlink can provide significant cost savings and reduce staff hours over current services.
