Connecting Asia & Europe Through the Arctic
Quintillion is a leading provider of wholesale broadband services to government and commercial telecommunication providers, bringing high-speed broadband to the most strategic place on Earth.
Our system starts in the Alaska community, where we provide middle-mile backhaul services for last-mile providers in the Northwest Arctic and North Slope regions. We will expand this network to both Asia and Europe with a new, low-latency submarine cable system, driving economic progress while securing America’s strategic position in the US Arctic.
Quintillion’s Arctic High Latitude Data Acquisition ground station is located at the northernmost point in the United States in Utqiaġvik, Alaska. This US-based ground station provides a safe location for American companies to downlink and uplink satellite data.
The Quintillion Network
Quintillion’s current network services the Alaska markets of Nome, Kotzebue, Point Hope, Wainwright, Utqiaġvik, and Prudhoe Bay/Deadhorse. The total network spans 1700 miles and connects to existing networks in Fairbanks, reaching Anchorage, Seattle, and Portland.
Bridging the Digital Divide
By providing a fiber backbone in the North Slopes and Northwest regions of Alaska, Quintillion plays a major role in connecting communities that have gone without reliable broadband to the digital world. This unlocks many essential services and opportunities for Alaska communities:
The Arctic is a competitive region for world superpowers, unveiling strategic defense postures, natural resources, and commercial routes. As the physical climate in the US Arctic shifts, the US has grown its presence in this region and continues to address vulnerabilities in national defense.
Quintillion stands ready to help the United States in the space and plays an active role in supporting the military and government’s involvement in the Arctic. Our fiber optic cable network has been designated critical infrastructure. Our systems are also built without any non-compliant foreign components and are resilient to cyber threat.
Our system offers unrivaled speed, capacity, and security, enabling ground-based defense systems. Additionally, our high-latitude ground station provides US organizations a safe, low-latency connection to downlink data from polar orbiting satellite without relying on foreign ground infrastructure.
Offering GSaaS Capabilities
American organizations rely on satellite data to gather critical data and make decisions here on Earth. Quintillion partnered with ATLAS Space Operations to build North America’s highest latitude ground station in Utqiaġvik, Alaska.
The Quintillion HiLDA Ground Station was built as a downlinking facility for polar orbiting satellites and can be utilized for direct and shared GSaaG. It offers antenna pad leasing and a variety of other backhaul solutions, O&M services, equipment colocation, and power.
The ground station offers several benefits to US businesses and organizations:
