CALGARY – Axia has kicked off a campaign to bring fibre optic Internet to more rural Alberta communities starting next year.
With fibre optic construction already underway in several rural communities in Southern Alberta, including Nanton and Nobleford, Axia said it is looking to identify more communities to invest in. In order for a community to be selected, it must pledge to work with Axia to generate at least 30% pre-order sign up for fibre optic installation in 2016.
Axia says that the miniscule wires in Axia Fibre allow the maximum number of information “highways” in one line, each with the highest carrying capacity possible.
“If traditional copper wire isn’t good enough for major city centers like Edmonton, why is it good enough for rural communities in Alberta?”, said Axia’s VP of residential and enterprise services Robert Price, in the news release. “We are looking to invest in and bring our fibre optic Internet services to the most forward-looking, fibre friendly communities.”
With networks in Alberta, France and Massachusetts, Axia sells services over fibre optic communications infrastructure in jurisdictions that have implemented the Axia FibreNet solution.
