Alaska Communications Becomes Authorized Reseller with Starlink

Agreement expands Alaska Communications ability to connect businesses in Alaska

ANCHORAGE, Alaska--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alaska Communications, a leading provider of mission and life-critical communications infrastructure in Alaska, has finalized an agreement to become an authorized reseller of Starlink, a satellite internet service engineered and operated by SpaceX.

The agreement allows Alaska Communications to resell Starlink’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services to business customers, providing an additional solution for high-speed coverage or network redundancy.

“This opportunity is transformative for Alaska and for organizations in critical industries where downtime can disrupt essential services,” said Dale Knipp, chief revenue officer, Alaska Communications. “Adding Starlink to our portfolio of advanced business solutions marks a pivotal step forward in how we serve Alaska’s organizations by empowering them to operate with greater resilience, reliability and confidence as they deliver for the customers who depend on them.”

Alaska’s remoteness, lack of road systems and challenging weather make it difficult to build and maintain traditional telecommunication networks. Industries dependent on remote operations, like energy, mining, tourism, transportation, education and healthcare, will benefit from near‑continuous connectivity anywhere in Alaska. Even organizations located in urban centers are not immune to network disruptions. A satellite backup as a complement to fiber of fixed wireless service acts as a failover, providing an additional layer of network resilience.

Organizations purchasing Starlink through Alaska Communications will receive professional installation by highly trained technicians, Alaska-based customer service and technical support, a customer facing portal to view and manage terminals, and integrated billing with other Alaska Communications services.
