PRESS RELEASE: Pacific Dataport Launches their Nome Gateway with Aurora LEO Service with Starlink: A Transformative Enterprise Backhaul Solution for Alaska’s North Slope and Northwest Regions

Pacific Dataport, Inc. (PDI), 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. “The Nome Gateway fortifies Alaska’s digital backbone,” said Chuck Schumann, CEO of Pacific Dataport. “It empowers ISPs to deliver dependable, high-speed broadband, ensuring students, patients, and first responders in the 49th state stay connected no matter the circumstances.” 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.

Pacific Dataport’s work with Starlink is revolutionizing Alaska’s telecommunications landscape, delivering high-speed, low-latency broadband to the state’s most remote frontiers. This impactful collaboration merges Pacific Dataport’s deep-rooted expertise in navigating Alaska’s unique connectivity challenges with Starlink’s cutting-edge global satellite network, providing ISPs with unmatched resilience, redundancy, and scalability. This can extend Starlink’s footprint into Alaska’s telecom industry, enabling robust solutions that support the surging demand for reliable broadband in rural areas while driving economic growth through enhanced access to education, healthcare, and commerce. Looking ahead, Pacific Dataport is committed to expanding this innovative model to additional Alaskan regions, further narrowing the digital divide and ensuring a backup plan for communities statewide, from the Arctic Circle to the Aleutian Islands.
