NAIT student and staff install off-grid wireless internet system in Peru

In May 2023, Gavin Moses joined 22 other NAIT students and three instructors in making a groundbreaking contribution to a remote region of Peru.
Pallccapampa is a farming community in a valley in the Andes mountains, far from any national infrastructure. For the first time, thanks to the expertise of Moses, a 2023 graduate of Wireless Systems Engineering Technology, and program chair Dr. Kevin Jacobson, the community’s two schools were connected to the internet.
The project marked another success in the partnership between the polytechnic and Light up the World, a charity dedicated to bringing solar photovoltaic power - and now wireless internet - to remote communities around the world.
This is one of the first video calls made over the connection established by Moses and Jacobson.
