Fiber Optic Network Backbone
Northern Canada currently relies on limited long-haul routes controlled by a small number of incumbents, with few true open-access options. KatloTech Fiber changes this by delivering an Indigenous-led, open-access corridor that:
Introduces real wholesale competition on a critical north–south route Provides redundancy and protected paths for carriers, ISPs, and mobile operators Connects directly to IceFox, a sovereign, hydro-powered data center campus on Treaty 8 land 100% underground construction with trenching and HDD to reduce wildfire and weather risk
