SARNIA – Bluewater Regional Networks today announced it will soon launch a terrestrial Canada-U.S. route, utilizing a brand new border crossing.
The new path offers redundant connectivity between Toronto and Chicago – and the border crossing linking Sarnia, Ontario and Port Huron, Michigan provides the ability to design unique network solutions between and throughout Canada and the U.S., says the press release.
“BRN is a part of a very well-established group of entities providing reliable and resilient services for over 100 years,” said Chris Gould, chief operating officer. “Our community-owned network was established to solve the local digital divide issues throughout the Sarnia-Lambton region, with an emphasis on a global approach to enhance connectivity to Canada and throughout North America.
“Headquartered in Sarnia, our region is uniquely positioned and has served as a highly traversed commercial gateway between Canada and the United States for over a century.”
BRN is owned by the Bluewater Power Group of Companies, the power utility which has been serving Sarnia Lambton for over 100 years
“The BRN network is designed as a new, non-incumbent route that completely avoids 151 Front Street (Toronto) and 350 E. Cermak (Chicago). The path provides direct cross-border connectivity from 45 Parliament, Toronto, and Sarnia, ON to 427 S LaSalle, Chicago, IL with multiple access points throughout Ontario and within the States of Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois,” reads the release.
The new route will go live March 1, 2021 and is accepting requests for capacity, network interconnections, and services today.
