GCI announces enterprise reseller agreement with SpaceX’s Starlink
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — GCI, Alaska’s largest telecommunications company, today announced it has entered into an enterprise reseller agreement with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite provider Starlink, a global leader in the LEO space. The agreement enables GCI to integrate Starlink’s advanced satellite technology into its suite of connectivity solutions for GCI Business customers.
With its vast geography and challenging terrain, Alaska is home to some of the most remote and hardest-to-reach communities in North America. The addition of Starlink’s LEO technology to the GCI Business portfolio ensures GCI is better positioned than ever before to deliver fast, reliable managed connectivity to healthcare, education and business customers throughout the state regardless of location.
“We have long said it takes every tool in our toolkit to serve a state like Alaska,” said GCI Senior Vice President of Corporate Development Billy Wailand. “Today, with the addition of Starlink’s industry-leading LEO capabilities, we add a valuable new tool to that toolkit that complements our existing network infrastructure and enhances our ability to provide managed services to GCI Business customers across the state.”
