Space Norway has signed a contract with SubCom for the full system supply of the Arctic Way Cable System, including survey, design, manufacturing, and installation. Scheduled to commence service in 2028, this new system will become a critical asset for transmitting data traffic between the mainland, Jan Mayen, and Svalbard.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpace Norway owns, develops and manages critical space infrastructure and subsea cable systems. Establishing this new cable system is imperative to ensure uninterrupted connectivity for the Arctic community and to support Norway\u2019s strategic interests. With SubCom\u2019s proven track record in managing Arctic projects, they are the optimal partner for this significant program,\u201d says Morten Tengs, CEO of Space Norway.<\/p>\n

\u201cSubCom has maintained a successful relationship with Space Norway for decades, including our participation in the supply of the original Svalbard cable system,\u201d said David Coughlan, CEO of SubCom. \u201cOur experience with the customer and our expertise in the region \u2013 one of the most unique marine environments on the planet \u2013 will enable SubCom to efficiently produce and deploy this critical subsea cable infrastructure on behalf of Space Norway.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile establishing new fibre infrastructure, we will continue to utilise the two existing cables to Svalbard as long as they remain functional, serving as a backup for Arctic Way. Although these cables are approaching the end of their 25-year service lifespan, we expect them to remain operational for several years past 2028,\u201d explains Rune Jensen, Director of Subsea Cable Systems at Space Norway.<\/p>\n
