Wow. I didn't knew that Nunavut is entirely satellite fed. That's very interesting to know, thanks. Do you have some more info, though? What kind of satellite - geostationary, LEO? Also which constellation has the most share of traffic from Nunavut?
- Scoundreller 2y agoUnsure if other telcos have their own setups, but: > Northwestel, one of biggest internet service providers in the North, said it provides broadband service for all Nunavut communities using Telesat's Telestar 19 VANTAGE high-throughput satellite. After the satellite was deployed in July 2018, Northwestel said it would significantly improve broadband connectivity in the territory, increasing speeds to 15 megabits per second. https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/efforts-underway-to-improve-internet-access-in-nunavut-1.6393891 https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/efforts-underway-to-improve-... Interestingly, the same satellite (but different transponders) probably supplies internet to a good chunk of transatlantic voyages between US/Can and Europe: https://www.telesat.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Telstar-19-VANTAGE.pdf https://www.telesat.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Telstar-1...
