Far North Digital, True North Global Networks, and Cinia are constructing the pan-Arctic Far North Fiber, which will be the first ever long-haul submarine fiber route through the Arctic Ocean from Asia to Europe via the Northwest Passage. Far North Fiber project is a 14,000 km (Japan to Europe) subsea fiber optic cable system with landings in United States, Canada, and dual landings in Japan and Europe (Norway/Finland and Ireland). FNF follows an approximately great circle marine route greatly reducing the optical distance between Asia and Europe, thus minimizing signal latency. FNF significantly cuts the number of network elements encountered on existing combinations of marine and terrestrial routes crossing Eurasia or the Pacific Ocean, North America and the Atlantic Ocean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e00f5f5b8557b31581b213f/8521914d-7e6c-4df1-ba4e-e1e8b74bd67d/AdobeStock_210016770.jpeg High Speed Fiber Networks - The Need. The demand for secure, fast and expansive international data transmission capacity continues to grow. Annual global IP traffic will reach 4.8 zettabytes (ZB - one billion terabytes) per year by 2022, or 400 million terabytes (TB) per month. In 2017, the annual run rate for global IP traffic was 1.5 ZB per year, or 122 million TB per month. [1] Fueled by 5G, massive Internet of Things (IoT) adoption will connect billions of devices and interact with them to gather vast amounts of data, with transformative potential in the broadcast and media industry, education, engineering, science, healthcare, automotive and many other sectors.

Utilizing locally owned community-based digital networks a direct connection to the global internet will establish backbone services for high-speed broadband communications across this underserved region. Branching units will be located to support Arctic communities, infrastructure needs, and system redundancy and diverse backhaul. Branching units will support strategic placement of extremely secure and geographically diverse data centers. These centers would take advantage of cost-effective renewable energy sources and environmental conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e00f5f5b8557b31581b213f/9c271972-0ca0-4f46-af8b-c107f1021048/Screenshot+2024-12-04+at+3.39.44%E2%80%AFPM.jpg High Speed Fiber Networks - Far North Fiber Benefits. Arctic route avoids critical global choke points and political risks. System architecture permits interconnection with geographically diverse, redundant route restoration options. Cable terminations in Japan, Ireland, and Norway/Finland selected as regional focal points for capacity demand corridors. Branching units located to support Arctic communities, infrastructure needs, and system redundancy and diverse backhaul. Lower volume of ship traffic versus conventional routes within or crossing vessel lanes. Branching units offer unparalleled opportunities for strategically co-located, highly energy-efficient data centers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e00f5f5b8557b31581b213f/1578084996684-UIZH2JEZ9RB47CUD3B2B/unnamed-1.jpg High Speed Fiber Networks - Initial Design Specifications. ~14,000 km Repeatered long-haul submarine cable system with Terminal Stations in Japan, Ireland, and Norway/Finland.

The proposed site has an existing 43-acre pad, expandable as needed up to 100 acres. It is inside the access-controlled and 24-hour guarded North Slope oil field in close proximity to telecommunications points-of-presence. Project goals include: Less than 4¢/KW power - The north slope is blessed with an abundance of stranded Natural Gas (NG), which can be converted to carbon neutral electrical power using fuel cells and CO2 capturing technologies. Large building site - Prudhoe Bay and Deadhorse area possess enormous building and property assets that are no longer being utilized by oil production. Secure telecommunications and high capacity data transmission - Significant fiber optic networks serve the North Slope from Fairbanks, and a number of submarine networks being planned. Strategically located - seasonal deep seaport for large and heavy freight, a 6,500-foot commercial airport with daily passenger and freight flights to Anchorage and Fairbanks, and the Dalton Highway to Fairbanks. Arctic climate - offers an abundance of server cooling without the need for inefficient HVAC systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e00f5f5b8557b31581b213f/1578896481057-7IKHJ9BIKACM1KOJKC15/3224274_web1_AJOC_071617_point-thomson-gas-to-prudhoe-color.jpg Data Center Projects - Natural Gas. Prudhoe Bay offers abundant, low cost, and renewable energy options. The North Slope has 35 trillion cubic feet of proven, but stranded, natural gas reserves, with still greater potentially recoverable gas. However, it does not have the infrastructure to distribute gas to large population centers. The costs to transport the gas to a global market (via new pipeline, liquification plant, port facilities, etc.) have so far proved uneconomic and that dynamic is not expected to change in the near term. Existing infrastructure, currently handling 8 Billion Cubic Feet of Gas (BCFG) per day, with large-scale production facilities and skilled workforce on North Slope to support additional gas development and production. The principals of Far North Digital have developed over the years a close working relationship with many of the North Slope Stake holders, and is actively working to secure a stabile long-term gas supply agreement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e00f5f5b8557b31581b213f/16acd456-ef26-4d65-aea8-59ee4371c5a1/10up+DC+Perspective%5B1%5D.png Data Center Projects Modular approach to traditional construction methods allows for a cost effective approach to remote locations. Self-supporting External Structure - Capable of supporting 16 floors with no additional structure required. Designed to be shipped anywhere - Prefabricated modules are built and pre-staged in an environmentally controlled manufacturing facility. They can then be handled as standard freight and shipped on container vessels to any container port in the world using existing barge networks,. Plug and Play Commissioning - Each modular unit is fitted before leaving the factory with its appropriate power, network, HVAC, fire suppression, and monitoring systems. Each of these can be tested prior to leaving the factory. At the site, each module is installed in its location and coupled with support and network systems. Commissioning becomes an easier task at this point as all the systems have been pre-tested, and only the network commissioning is required. In addition, all parts, components, and hardware were pre-staged with each module making sure the technician has what they need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e00f5f5b8557b31581b213f/1578088056634-H5HIKRDMVFV8YKYEKD8N/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-01-03%2Bat%2B1.46.29%2BPM.jpg Data Center Projects - Cable Routes. Redundant, high capacity fiber optic cables currently extend to Fairbanks, Anchorage and the lower 48 via multiple diverse submarine cable routes. There are plans to build new submarine fiber systems connecting Asia and Europe through a cable nexus on the North Slope of Alaska. West Entrance to NW Passage - Strategically located at the west entrance to the North West Passage Strategically Located - Potential central point in a future transglobal low latency marine fiber optic network Current High Speed Infrastructure - Existing High Capacity terrestrial fiber optic network to interior Alaska and lower 48. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e00f5f5b8557b31581b213f/1578086915538-XOSO24ZJQ2L2POLEX861/photo-1499549549616-57173fc0c15b.jpeg Data Center Projects - Renewable Resources. Environmental cooling using ambient Arctic air and water could reduce energy consumption related to cooling by between 40-60%. Solar energy from extended Arctic summer daylight hours, and the reliable wind resource (measured wind power high class 4-5 on a scale of 7) can contribute to the overall renewable energy mix. https://www.fn-digital.com/news daily 0.75 2021-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e00f5f5b8557b31581b213f/828b923d-1ad0-4095-ba99-825e1f8f901c/FNF_Map_211221.jpg News - Far North Digital/True North Global Networks Sign MoU with Cinia for Pan-Arctic Fibre Cable Vancouver, BC - Far North Digital-True North Global Networks and Cinia announced plans to jointly construct a fibre optic cable system linking Europe and Asia through the Arctic.
