Advancing Arctic Communications: The Quintillion Subsea Cable System

Elizabeth Pierce, CEO of Arctic Communications, presents the Quintillion Subsea Cable System. This innovative project addresses the challenges of limited satellite and microwave backhaul in remote Arctic regions, where high latency and service outages are common. With wholesale costs ranging from $1,500 to $11,000 per Mbps per month, enhancing communication capacity is essential for national security and emergency response. The installation faces unique challenges due to the short open-water season, necessitating resilient design and construction to ensure reliable connectivity and facilitate responsible Arctic development.
