Lynn Canal Fiber is an advanced submarine cable system designed to enhance telecommunications infrastructure in Southeast Alaska. This project plays a vital role in improving internet connectivity and supporting economic development in the region.
The cable is set to be ready for service in early 2024, marking a significant milestone for the Southeast Alaska telecommunications landscape. Lynn Canal Fiber will have multiple cable landing stations strategically positioned to ensure optimal service coverage. Specifically, the cable will connect key locations, including Juneau, Haines, and Skagway, facilitating high-speed internet access and reliable communication services across these communities.
The total capacity of the Lynn Canal Fiber submarine cable is designed to be 100 Gbps (Gigabits per second), providing ample bandwidth to support a range of applications from residential internet needs to business operations and critical services. This high capacity is crucial for accommodating the growing demand for data and connectivity in the region.
The lifespan of the cable is projected to be at least 25 years, ensuring long-term reliability and service continuity for users. This durability is essential for maintaining robust telecommunications infrastructure, particularly in remote and challenging maritime environments.
