Powered by fiber-fed, next-generation fixed wireless technology, Alaska Communications is expanding broadband access rapidly to meet the needs of businesses and families. With speeds up to 300Mbps download and 100Mbps upload, Alaskans can get the connectivity they need to efficiently run their business, work or learn from home, attend telehealth appointments, stream their favorite programs, connect smart home devices, play online games and more.

“We hear from residents across the state that they want reliable, unlimited internet service. If it matters to Alaskans, it matters to us,” said Paul Fenaroli, President and CEO, Alaska Communications. “With fixed wireless internet access backed by our state-of-the-art fiber network, we’re able to give Alaskans a reliable option for connecting their businesses and homes at affordable rates with local support.”

Alaska Communications’ new service includes:

• The speed you need: Up to 300Mbps download and 100Mbps upload.
• Unlimited data: Like all Alaska Communications services, there are no data caps, throttling or overage fees.
• Reliability: Advances in technology no longer require a line of sight for a strong signal.
• Affordable: Competitive pricing at a flat, monthly rate.
• No extra costs: Free installation and equipment with term agreement.
• Local support: Installed and supported by Alaskans.
• Small business solutions: Bundle with our other small business services, which include Microsoft 365, helpdesk support and more.

“For businesses, it opens the door to enhanced productivity, better customer service, improved security and the ability to compete in our digital-first economy,” said Fenaroli. “For families, this means smoother streaming, faster downloads and more reliable connections for remote work, online learning and everyday use.”

North Anchorage available now, midtown and south Anchorage coming soon

This high-speed service is available for businesses and residents in the following Anchorage neighborhoods: downtown, Government Hill, Mountain View and Airport Heights.

The Anchorage hillside, south Anchorage and midtown Anchorage will be available later this summer. By the end of 2025, 50,000 locations in Anchorage alone will be eligible.

“The Anchorage market is seeing demand for high-speed alternatives to cable internet,” said Fenaroli. “Competition is good for Alaska and we’re excited to build on our more than 120-year history to support Alaskans in new ways.”
