The Greenlandic telecommunications company, TELE Greenland A/S, is owned by the Greenlandic Home Rule Government. The company is responsible for all telecommunications in the country and provides a wide range of domestic and international services such as:

• public switched telephone and telex
  
• data networks
  
• internet
  
• ISDN, video conferencing
  
• mobile communication
  
• radio and television broadcast networks
  
• aeronautical and coastal radio services
  
• meteorological services
  

A 2,000-km digital radio relay system forms an essential part of Greenland's infrastructure. The repeater stations must withstand extreme weather conditions.

The network includes a 2,000 km digital radio relay system along the southwest coast and a satellite system covering the remote towns in the north and east. Spur or satellite links connect the settlements to the main system. Connection with the rest of the world consists of three satellite systems between Greenland and Denmark. The cost of this network has been high, but the benefits for the Greenlandic society have by far surpassed it.
