Proposal:

Our proposal is that through the Business to consumer (B2C) business model, based on the existing consumer-supplier relationship, intermediation between end consumers and supplier companies is possible. Building on the challenge, we are looking for solutions that can provide social, technological and cost-effective networking interaction for people living in remote ocean areas that are difficult to access the Internet, and boost social development. In this respect there is already technology capable of allowing access to data carried by satellites managed by companies such as Iridium, Kymeta and InmarSat, among others.

Justification:

Currently, according to the Transparency Portal, the Brazilian Navy has 83,000 active servers. The website infoescola, points out that 12 million people in the world live from artisanal fishing, and 25 thousand from industrial fishing. Sailing can last hours or even months at sea, without any communication with family friends. There are still whole communities in very remote places that do not have internet access. These include the Pacific Ocean Kergulen Islands, where you have to sail for six days from Madagascar. It is still the most remote island in the world, Easter Island, which is 4,000 km from the Chilean coast and has a population of approximately 5,000 people. In these areas the lack of communication causes numerous disorders such as the lack of technologies for health and education.

The business:

Initially these companies developed solutions that would make it possible to monitor assets from various segments. Soon it was possible to send and receive simple application data through a remote agency. Then came a component capable of integrating various interfaces and with the exchange of data via satellite it was possible to send information such as photos, videos and even remote control machines. Created a component that can be integrated with other hardware and software and provide a complete satellite data solution with global reach. Using a short data transmission platform through which it is possible to generate internet and even telephone signal from anywhere in the world.

However, these technologies have high costs considering the populations of fishermen, sailors and communities living in the middle of the ocean.

We then propose to update this technology in a shared way. People will meet in consumer associations or cooperatives. In this model, a jointly-owned company will be responsible for contracting satellite data transmission services and distributing the signal to interested parties.

In practice, fishermen's associations can acquire service and promote shared use by their members. There will also be apportionment of the costs involved. Governments can deploy the system in their communities and bring economic development to these regions without necessarily having to pay a pecuniary counterpart. Even small and medium-sized public and private companies will be able to use this income-aggregating model. It will also be possible, in rural or forested areas, to implement the same venture.

The device is small and solar powered and can be handled and moved anywhere on the globe. The shot receives data from the satellite and transforms it into broadband, which can be replicated through a router or repeater.

The software is able to assimilate satellite signals and convert them to broadband internet, and the user can choose their data package as needed.

The remuneration will be 20% of the value of the contracted service.

The individual cost of the smallest data package marketed by a particular company costs $ 975. Branet will act as an intermediary in the provision of communication services. To do so, it will acquire gigantic, less cost-effective data packages and market smaller but affordable packages.

For example, Branet buys 100 gigabytes of broadband internet for the price "x" and sells smaller bundles at x / 2. This methodology will be able to bring state-of-the-art communication to people with lower purchasing potential and who would not be able to hire these services alone.

Branet's mission is to connect people through technology, regardless of their location.
