Telecommunications
Connecting Nunavut's
Digital Future
Nunavut's communities need reliable broadband, satellite connectivity, and digital infrastructure. We connect telecom companies and technology providers with the territory's growing connectivity demand.
Industry Overview
Northern Connectivity
Telecommunications in Nunavut is undergoing a transformation. Most communities currently rely on satellite-based internet with limited bandwidth and high latency, creating a significant digital divide between northern and southern Canada. The Kivalliq Hydro-Fibre Link project aims to bring fibre optic connectivity to Kivalliq region communities, while low-earth orbit satellite constellations promise to improve connectivity territory-wide.
The federal government's Universal Broadband Fund and CRTC targets for northern connectivity are driving investment in Nunavut's telecom infrastructure. SSi Micro (now SSi Canada) has been the primary internet service provider, while Northwestel provides telecommunications services across the territory.
Improved connectivity is essential for e-commerce, remote healthcare (telehealth), distance education, and enabling Nunavut businesses to compete in digital markets. For telecom equipment suppliers, satellite companies, IT service providers, and digital infrastructure firms, the territory offers a growing market with strong government support.
