Privately owned and funded, Quintillion has built the first and only system of its kind, which serves the American Northwest and North Slope Arctic regions. Quintillion is the owner/operator of this world class telecommunications system. As a wholesale provider, Quintillion offers high-speed broadband to local providers across the state of Alaska. In December 2017 Quintillion completed its 249-mile terrestrial fiber optic cable, beginning north of Fairbanks, Alaska and terminating in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. The completion of the terrestrial fiber build provides a high-capacity, low latency system, uniquely positioned to serve the needs of the oil and gas industry working on Alaska’s North Slope. Quintillion’s Phase 2 expansion will establish a state-of-the-art fiber optic route between Alaska and Japan to Washington State . This project addresses the need to create a diverse route out of western Alaska and allow future expansion into additional Asian markers. When completed, this system will improve existing network capacity and reduce latency. In addition to Quintillion’s planned Phase 2 expansion, Phase 3 will extend from northeastern Alaska, through the Northwest Passage and connects Alaska to Canada, and extends to Europe”, , with an opportunity for further extension. This expansion will create a diverse and low latency route between Asian and European markets.
