Phase 1 – Completed construction of 1,182 miles of submarine fiber optic cable trunk between Nome and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska with branches into the Alaskan communities of Nome, Kotzebue, Point Hope, Wainwright, Utqiagvik and Prudhoe Bay. Concurrently laid 505 miles of terrestrial fiber parallel to the Dalton Highway between Fairbanks and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. Phase 2 – Asia, is planned to extend the backbone cable from the Nome branching unit west to Asia, with options for additional branches into Alaska. Phase 3, is intended to extend the subsea system east of the Prudhoe Bay, Alaska branching unit to Canada and on to the United Kingdom. Phase 3 will connect to Northern Canadian communities and will provide a secure low latency route from Europe to Asia.
