For the first time in Antarctica, a long range wireless link has been established. And it runs on renewable energy.

To improve communications, reduce costs, and ensure the safety of flights landing and departing from the Perseus Intercontinental Airstrip with the DROMLAN logistics network, members of the IPF team installed a communication relay atop Vesthaugen Nunatak, located about halfway in between the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica research station and the new airstrip.

This new relay creates a wireless extension of the network at the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica out to Perseus Airstrip, making communication via Internet from the remote airstrip possible.

It sits on the summit of Vesthaugen Nunatak, 31.5 km north of the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica and 27.5 km south of Perseus Airstrip. The top of the nunatak is at an altitude of 1200 meters above sea level, which allows it to have a clear line of sight between the station, which sits at a higher elevation of 1365 meters above sea level, and the airstrip, which is located at only 794 meters above sea level.
