WHO WE ARE
Pacific Dataport is a pioneering space-based telecommunications company created by Alaskans, for Alaskans. We are on a mission to bridge Alaska's digital divide using cutting-edge satellite technology. Alaska currently has the slowest and most costly broadband access in the United States. This challenge presents a unique opportunity for Pacific Dataport to deliver comprehensive broadband coverage across Alaska, fostering a competitive market and introducing superior products that will benefit residents statewide.
Our leadership team and entire staff possess extensive expertise in satellite telecommunications, particularly in rural Alaska. Combined with Space Partnership International's proficiency in designing and developing satellite systems, we are uniquely positioned to transform the future of connectivity in Alaska. Reliable broadband access is crucial for the future of Alaska, especially in rural areas, and Pacific Dataport is committed to making it a reality.
