Alaska's village internet service speed and quality rank among the lowest in the country; however, that's changing. Say hello to low-latency, high-speed connectivity services in rural Alaska via powerful 5G-ready community networks connected to OneWeb satellites making affordable high-speed broadband service a reality.

Alaska Tribal Broadband, a native-owned Alaska Corporation, is establishing broadband services in Alaska's remotest locations. Reliable, affordable, and supported by by locally owned tribal services.

Providing affordable high-speed connectivity statewide.

Founded in 2019, Alaska Tribal Broadband’s (ATB) mission is to improve broadband service in rural Alaska villages. The Native-owned company has been at the forefront of assisting tribes in seizing opportunities supplied by new federal government broadband initiatives. ATB began by educating tribes on the value of 5G wireless and how to take advantage of the chance to get the service no cost and has helped over a hundred tribes get their FCC license.

ATB assists tribes in preparing federal grant applications by developing comprehensive broadband plans and now assists tribes in implementing those plans, starting with the village of Akiak. Currently, the company is completing construction on the second tribal-owned broadband network in Alaska for the village of Unalakleet.

ATB partners with Alaska Village Initiatives, a 501(c)(3) whose mission is to create new economic activities in distressed communities. Through this partnership, Alaskan tribes applied for the $1 billion NTIA Tribal Broadband Connectivity Grant. ATB and AVI are providing technical support to help tribes prepare in advance of NTIA funding awards.
