LEO in action
No matter your industry, Northwestel brings connection and access to your enterprise applications to your remote sites.
Here are some examples where Northwestel changed the landscape for remote connectivity.
Mining and remote camps
Northwestel delivers reliable low‑latency connectivity to mining and remote camps across BC, Yukon, and the NWT. Teams can stay productive on site while employees maintain quality‑of‑life connections to home, entertainment, and essential online services.
Government services
Northwestel is connecting remote camps to support government services along ultra‑remote stretches of highway in the Far North. Employees can now reliably connect with ease to colleagues and systems where they couldn’t before.
Emergency deployment
Northwestel provides rapid LEO redundancy to keep critical communications online during emergencies. Temporary “pop‑up” links can be deployed quickly, as seen during the 2023 NWT wildfires when LEO bases kept Inuvik and Beaufort Delta operations connected.
