Welcome to
Blue Sphere
Dual-use undersea infrastructure for the North Atlantic — fiber backbone, ocean sensing, and sovereign compute.
Project Phases
Gated delivery from Canadian backbone to Nordic integration
Phase 1 — Canadian Backbone
Davis Strait + Labrador · Years 1-3
Domestic routes where Canada can act unilaterally • Alpha (Davis Strait) and Delta (Labrador shelf) corridors • Landing stations in Nunavut and Labrador
Phase 2 — Greenland Connection
Trans-Arctic Link · Years 3-5
International extension to Greenland • Governance structure with Kalaallit Nunaat • Bravo (Lancaster Sound) corridor activation
Phase 3 — Nordic Integration
Iceland + Europe · Years 5-8
Charlie (Denmark Strait) corridor to Iceland • European interconnection • Full North Atlantic mesh operational
Phase 4 — Sovereign Compute
Data Centers + Fabs · Years 6-10
Regional compute nodes at landing sites • Cold-climate data centers with waste heat reuse • Advanced manufacturing exploration
