North Slope Telecom Inc. helps open communication lines in some of the most remote areas of the state.
The staff at North Slope Telecom Inc. are often the first crew to arrive at a new project site and the last to pack up and leave.
Whether constructing radio towers in the Arctic or laying broadband fiber across the tundra, the telecommunications contractor plays an outsized role in everyday Alaska life.
“We make sure that all Alaskans can connect to the outside world,” said Sharon Kazem, president at North Slope Telecom.
For nearly 40 years, the team has helped build a stronger Alaska. Its work affects almost every resident in some way, facilitating phone calls and internet access for homes and industries small and large, and in some of the state’s most remote areas.
As massive economic and infrastructure investment comes to the state, North Slope Telecom sees a bright future for all of Alaska. The company is making the most of the opportunity with help from a team of local financial experts.
Connecting Alaska: The golden rule
When Kazem began working at North Slope Telecom two decades ago, the company had 24 employees. Today, it employs around 72 people. Despite its relatively small size, the company specializes in multiple lines of business.
“We engineer, design, prepare and construct telecommunications infrastructure,” Kazem said. “We provide a whole gamut of services.”
