Live Project Status: Pre-Construction

The Arctic Corridor:
Faster, Safer Global Routes

The 14,000 km trans‑Arctic Far North submarine cable linking Asia, North America, and Europe is engineered for speed, security and scalability:

  • Sub‑145 millisecond Tokyo–London round‑trip latency
  • Route avoids geopolitical chokepoints
  • A backbone system linking stranded energy, AI and data centers; connecting local communities and reinforcing regional fiber systems; deploying high-capacity state-of-art fiber technology
  • Debt‑ready economics with a 6.3x average DSCR and sovereign‑backed support

Who this is for:

HFT and market infrastructure providers, global carriers, hyperscalers, and infra capital partners seeking sovereign‑grade digital corridor.

The Infrastructure

The Asset: Arctic Corridor

Far North Fiber is a 14,000 km trans‑Arctic submarine cable system connecting landing points across Japan, North America, and Northern Europe.

The route is engineered to:

  • Bypass chokepoints on legacy East–West cable systems.
  • Provide landing points across G7 and allied jurisdictions.
  • Deliver an express configuration optimised for high‑value, latency‑sensitive traffic.
