Bulk Fiber Networks commissioned WFN Strategies to conduct a feasibility study for the Leif Erikson project—the world’s first 100 percent renewable-powered trans‑Atlantic fiber optic system. Stretching 4,200 km from Norway to Canada, the project presented a host of challenges, including Arctic routing hazards, deep-sea seabed variability, and the need for integrated sustainability throughout system design.

WFN’s team was tasked with evaluating technical feasibility, performing risk assessments, and developing a sustainability roadmap—while incorporating lifecycle planning, supply chain considerations, and marine survey scheduling. Our work included aligning the project with global submarine cable standards and renewable energy benchmarks, ensuring alignment with Bulk’s strategic vision for sustainable digital infrastructure.
