Unsure if other telcos have their own setups, but:

> Northwestel, one of biggest internet service providers in the North, said it provides broadband service for all Nunavut communities using Telesat's Telestar 19 VANTAGE high-throughput satellite. After the satellite was deployed in July 2018, Northwestel said it would significantly improve broadband connectivity in the territory, increasing speeds to 15 megabits per second.

Interestingly, the same satellite (but different transponders) probably supplies internet to a good chunk of transatlantic voyages between US/Can and Europe: https://www.telesat.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Telstar-1...
