Smart Off-Grid Power Connects Communities in Remote Marshall Islands
Overview
Mobile connectivity was established at 62 sites throughout the Marshall Islands, isolated in the Pacific Ocean.
The Challenge
Grid power is extremely costly to install and maintain, and thousands of people in the Marshall Islands have never had access to connectivity. Upfront costs, as well as the cost of maintenance site visits are major obstacles to connectivity.
Our Solution
Clear Blue's Illumience cloud control platform enables remote and proactive maintenance, significantly reducing operational expenses.
Results
- Mobile connectivity was established at 62 sites throughout the Marshall Islands.
- Thanks to remote management provided by Clear Blue, no maintenance site visits have been required thus far.
- Minimized ongoing operating costs while establishing sustainable, cost-effective broadband infrastructure across the remote region.
