APTelecom, WFN Strategies Press Release
January 28, 2026
Sterling, Virginia – APTelecom, a leading provider of international telecommunications and managed solutions, and WFN Strategies, a specialist consultancy in submarine cable systems, today announced the continued expansion of their long-running collaboration supporting subsea connectivity initiatives worldwide.
Since 2020, the two organizations have worked side by side to help customers move complex submarine cable projects from concept to execution. Across commercial and government engagements, APTelecom and WFN Strategies have supported decision-makers with clear analysis, practical guidance, and hands-on expertise—helping projects advance with greater confidence, reduced risk, and stronger long-term outcomes.
Their joint work has supported projects across the Asia-Pacific and EMEA regions, where geographically challenging environments and evolving regulatory and operational requirements demand experienced, adaptable partners. Together, the teams have helped stakeholders strengthen planning, improve execution discipline, and enhance the resilience of critical subsea infrastructure.
Looking ahead to 2026, APTelecom and WFN Strategies are collaborating on a growing portfolio of submarine cable projects spanning the Atlantic, Pacific, South American, and Indian Ocean regions. These projects reflect the partnership’s ability to support customers operating across diverse geographies, from mature transoceanic routes to emerging and complex environments, while meeting tight timelines and mission-critical connectivity objectives.
The collaboration reflects a shared focus on delivery, not just design—combining commercial insight, technical depth, and real-world submarine experience. As demand accelerates for secure, high-capacity global connectivity, APTelecom and WFN Strategies plan to continue expanding their joint support across emerging markets, established network corridors, and strategically important infrastructure programs through 2026 and beyond.
“APTelecom values partners who focus on outcomes and understand what it takes to deliver in the real world,” said Sean Bergin, President and Co-Founder APTelecom and the Pacific Telecommunication Council (PTC) Board of Governors member. “WFN Strategies brings that mindset to every engagement, and we’re pleased to continue building on a collaboration that consistently delivers value to our customers.”
“APTelecom has demonstrated a strong ability to execute across regions and stakeholder environments,” said Wayne Nielsen, Managing Director of WFN Strategies. “Together, we’ve been able to support customers as they deliver new connectivity, strengthen existing systems, and build more resilient subsea infrastructure.”
APTelecom and WFN Strategies will continue aligning on future engagements focused on helping customers plan, execute, and sustain submarine cable systems that support long-term connectivity needs worldwide.
