IceFox Data Center is a proposed modular data center campus on K'atl'odeeche First Nation reserve land near Hay River, Northwest Territories, developed by KatloTech Communications. The project would reuse a former Nav Canada radar facility site, with construction planned in phases supporting Edge computing before expanding toward AI and HPC workloads. It would rely on hydroelectric power tied to the planned Taltson hydro expansion, using a proprietary snow-cell cooling system that draws on stored winter snow and meltwater to maintain a low-temperature chilled loop year-round. The project remains in the planning stage, with land access, funding, and environmental review still pending.
KatloTech Communications Ltd. is a 100% Indigenous-owned, Dene-led technology company headquartered in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, delivering broadband, wireless, and satellite IT solutions to residential, commercial, and First Nation government clients throughout the North. Founded and led by CEO Lyle Fabian, the company is expanding beyond its core ISP business into infrastructure development, pursuing the IceFox Data Center on K'atl'odeeche First Nation land near Hay River alongside a 329km open-access fiber route connecting to High Level, Alberta. Strategic technology partners include Ciena, Lenovo, and NVIDIA, while Noramco has both a technology partnership and an investment stake in the fiber project.
