A construction-phase communications system is already in operation, linking isolated camps with other facilities. The interim system includes a microwave network, as well as satellite Earth stations at Prudhoe Bay in the north and at Valdez. The construction-phase microwave system provides an average of 12 communications channels to each camp, including private line business communications, ''morale'' telephones for use by pipeline workers, teletypes, facsimile equipment, and data processing terminals. Alyeska offices in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Valdez, as well as all construction camps, are linked by leased private line telephone circuits.
