Telecommunications in Antarctica

Telecommunications in Antarctica are provided by the countries and organizations that have established research stations on the continent, and commercial satellite and mobile phone providers. There are no undersea cables connecting the continent to the outside world, so all intercontinental communication is accomplished by terrestrial or satellite radio, or physical delivery.

Antarctica is included by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in any of its internal administrative zones.
