While Adak was under Navy control, all telecommunications were under the Navy’s control as well. The Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) and Alaska Public Utilites Commission never certified the area. No other local exchange carrier provides or ever provided service to Adak. Two carriers, GCI and AT&T Alascom presently provide inter- and intra-state telecommunication services on Adak, via Satellite. Although the facilities originally were built to serve Navy requirements, both companies continue, and have committed to continue, long distance service to the Island of Adak.

 

Adak Eagle Enterprises, LLC provides all of the telecommunications including broadband services on Adak Island. Adak Eagle Enterprises, LLC in November 2006 replaced all copper facilities with fiber optic from the premises to the central office.
AT&T Alascom satellite earth station and GCI’s satellite earth station provide satellite delivery of the telecommunications traffic to Anchorage and are the only active routes off of the Island. On November 11th, 2006 Adak Eagle Enterprises, LLC’s new T-7000 switch replaced the old PBX system the Navy left behind.

 

Adak Eagle Enterprises, LLC  provides leading edge ISP services to the remote island of Adak, Alaska, the farthest western city in the United States, where the only internet uplink is satellite.
