Alberta SuperNet
Location: Canada
Abstract:
Alberta SuperNet uses a combination of fiber optic cable and wireless technology to reach 429 communities in rural Alberta. It is a high-speed, high-capacity network meant to increase the efficiency and reach of government offices, educational institutions, libraries and other public organizations, and healthcare facilities. The government of Alberta fully funds the project, and has contracts with Bell Canada and Axia to manage the network. Wendell Warman, Chairperson of the Battle River Alberta Economic Alliance (BRAED), has said, "SuperNet will help put rural Alberta on an equal footing with the larger urban centers. SuperNet could mean the long-term survival of areas like east central Alberta. BRAED’s goal is to be an active player in achieving this initiative."
