But these communities are extremely small and isolated… No roads go there… so their Internet doesn’t connect anywhere…unless it’s wireless and then in that case why lay an expensive undersea cable… just make everything wireless
You’re looking at a map of undersea cables. You can’t see the terrestrial cables that connects to one or more of those locations. They are not an isolated “intranet” but connected to the internet.
Wireless has really limited range at high speeds. It needs to be high frequency to handle high speeds and high frequency is interrupted by mist, to say nothing of snow or rain, and high frequency also must be line of sight and simply doesn’t cover much distance. They would need to put up a tower roughly 1/4 as often as a wire carrying pole for much less reliability and much less capacity. Wireless is almost never the correct answer to a fixed connection.
Connecting communities in the region. Also there’s a lot of minerals shipping in the area and they need internet

I came across this map of terrestrial cables
It doesn’t appear to connect to the Hudson Bay cables
There is a road going up there, and as another user pointed out there are overland cables connecting it to the rest of the system.
Not on this map
Why ask if you won’t accept the answer?
I found this https://krg.ca/en-CA/assets/Council/2024/May/EAUFON.pdf which includes the terrestrial uplinks that do in fact exist.

He does this regularly; I have him tagged because of that
Thanks for finding that …it’s funny that part of their plan is these cable…plus star link
