Connection for a scalable and reliable future.

MTA Fiber Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MTA, Inc., is the company delivering AlCan ONE, the first and only all-terrestrial fiber route from Alaska to the contiguous U.S. It will initially have capabilities of over 100 terabits per second of capacity that can be expanded and increased in the future as demand grows. The fiber network provides MTA members and ultimately other Alaskans a reliable transport connection that ensures future capacity requirements will continue to support the growth of broadband, while reducing the reliance on aging undersea fiber routes.

Cross-Border Partnerships

MTA Fiber Holdings, LLC has made arrangements with several Canadian carriers to carry broadband traffic from Alaska to the contiguous U.S. MTA will extend its existing network from Fairbanks, connecting through Canada to any major hub in North America and beyond to the rest of the world.

Capacity for Growth

This new fiber route has the capacity to meet the current and future needs of broadband across the state of Alaska. It will be a reliable connection that can help economic growth across the state.

Safe and Reliable

As undersea cables age and near the end of their useful life, a reliable all-terrestrial fiber route will be the key to ensuring future capacity, access and stability to fiber connections in Alaska

Reduces Transport Costs

Currently, MTA pays broadband transport fees to other carriers to facilitate access to broadband for MTA members. This is a long-term solution that reduces those payments, allowing for reinvestment that benefits members.

Connecting Alaska

The biggest benefits of an all-terrestrial fiber route are the greater capacity and a route that’s not submarine. These will be a benefit for the full state of Alaska now and into the future.
