STARLINK
RELIABLE INTERNET IS NOT A LUXURY, IT’S A NECESSITY

Starlink is an advanced high-speed internet service provided by satellites in low-Earth orbit (LEO), creating artificial constellations capable of transmitting broadband signals to ground level receivers. This wire-free technology not only addresses the limitation of fibre optics for remote Northern communities but also meets the longstanding connectivity needs.
By November 2020, FSET was able to deliver Starlink to the First Nation and within 15 minutes of our technicians landing in the community, Pikangikum had internet speeds its community members previously thought impossible – the average download speed instantly went from 60 Kbps to 130 Mbps, roughly 2,166 per cent faster than it was before. Since enjoying success with Pikangikum, FSET has begun connecting several other First Nation community partners across the North by helping them get the service as well.
