Unparalleled northern service, unimaginable remote connectivity.
Northwestel and OneWeb bring a new way to connect in Canada, powered by low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication networks. With delivery anywhere in the north, Northwestel is removing barriers and making access to the Internet and other business solutions possible in the most remote and rural areas.

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
Achieving reliable low latency connections can make all the difference to your business. We are helping keep mining operations running smoothly in British Columbia, Yukon Territory, and the Northwest Territories.
Connectivity isn’t just for meeting your business targets, it is also about camp quality of life. Retain employees by connecting them to their favourite content online and loved ones back home so they stay happy and engaged while working away.
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
In situations where connection is vital, OneWeb redundancy to ensure communications and connections remain functional. Northwestel can also deploy additional ‘pop-up’ connections to quickly accommodate any connectivity needs that may arise.
During the unprecedented NWT wildfires of 2023, Northwestel deployed OneWeb LEO satellite bases to Inuvik. This kept critical emergency operations online, allowing Beaufort Delta communities to stay informed and aware of evacuation statuses and other important information.
