Arctic Fiber is a submarine cable that will ultimately connect the United Kingdom , Ireland , Canada , the United States and Japan . The first section ( Nome - Kotzebue - Point Hope - Wainwright - Utqiagvik ) has been in test operation since April 2017 ; Connection to the continental network is to take place in the same year [obsolete] after the completion of the Utquiagvik - Prudhoe Bay section via an overland cable from Deadhorse to Fairbanks , which was also completed in April 2017, in the northwest of the USA . The second phase will then be a connection from Nome through the Pacific Ocean to Japan, and the third one through the southern branch of the Northwest Passage and the North Atlantic to the United Kingdom .
