New Fiber Optic Cables Boost Alaska's Internet Access

Cordova Telecom and GCI unveil a groundbreaking partnership to enhance internet access in Alaska. They plan to lay two new undersea fiber optic cables, connecting Juneau to Cordova and Cordova to Seward, aiming to bring high-speed internet to smaller communities by fall 2027. This project, funded by federal grants and contributions from both companies, will create a redundant route for internet traffic, enhancing reliability and reducing the risk of service interruptions. The new cables will also provide faster speeds and higher data volumes, connecting rural areas to the digital economy. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
