Alaska’s foremost satellite middle-mile provider, proudly launches the Nome Gateway, delivering Aurora LEO service with connectivity provided by Starlink—a pioneering low-earth orbit (LEO) backhaul solution crafted exclusively for enterprise broadband Service Providers (ISPs). This state-of-the- art service empowers ISPs across the North Slope and Northwest Alaska to deliver seamless, high-speed broadband to rural and remote communities, overcoming the region’s formidable geographic and climatic barriers.

Representing the largest commercial satellite capacity ever deployed globally, the Nome Gateway provides over 10 Gbps of capacity to Nome-area customers, establishing an unprecedented benchmark for connectivity in the Last Frontier. This robust, cutting-edge infrastructure ensures unparalleled performance and reliability in one of the world’s most isolated and challenging environments.

The Nome Gateway equips ISPs with a resilient backup network, offering uninterrupted service despite harsh weather, rugged terrain, or unexpected disruptions. For instance, residents now depend on this connectivity for critical needs like remote learning for students, telemedicine appointments for elders, and emergency response coordination for first responders, fundamentally transforming daily life in isolated areas.

By harnessing Starlink’s low-latency LEO satellite technology, Pacific Dataport is bridging Alaska’s persistent digital divide, bringing transformative Internet access to the state’s most unserved and underserved communities.
