Atlantic AE was proud to participate in the 2026 Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) Conference in Honolulu, with Kelly McBride representing our team alongside global leaders in telecommunications and digital infrastructure design.

PTC’26 brought together carriers, hyperscales, satellite operators, investors, and technology innovators to explore how next-generation networks are being planned, built, and scaled across the Pacific region and around the world. As connectivity demands continue to accelerate, the conversations underscore the growing complexity and opportunity within the global digital ecosystem.

Key discussions focused on subsea cable systems, satellite and multi-orbit connectivity, and the rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers. These topics closely align with Atlantic AE’s core expertise, where we provide integrated architecture and engineering services across mission-critical facilities, data centers, and telecom and network environments. Throughout the conference, there was a clear emphasis on the need for resilient design, efficient power and cooling strategies, and long-term scalability to support future growth.

Hosted in Hawaii, a strategic bridge between Asia and the Americas, PTC’26 reinforced the importance of global collaboration and thoughtful planning in delivering dependable, future-ready digital infrastructure.

If you attended PTC’26 or are planning to participate in upcoming data center or telecommunications conferences, we would welcome the opportunity to connect and continue the conversation!
