In Ukraine, they plan to create Wi-Fi points in case of power outages. They will run on Tesla Powerwall batteries and Starlink terminals.
The Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, said this in an interview with Forbes.
Part of the 1 Starlink terminals that Ukraine will receive from Poland will be used to create points.
"Now we are thinking about how to provide citizens with the most stable connection during power outages. Without electricity in some regions, both mobile towers and fixed Internet providers do not work. We understand the situation of each provider, how many generators and batteries they buy, how we can help. However, we want to provide the country with reinforced concrete places for communication in any situation. Including, we are considering the use of Tesla Powerwall, Starlink, so that such public communication points are in Ukraine and work independently of the power grid," Fedorov said.
