Project description
The LTE Haute-Mauricie project consisted of installing new fiber optic backbones as well as new LTE wireless networks allowing residents of several remote communities to have high speed residential Internet access using the latest technology available on the market. Most of the residents covered by the project did not have access to high-speed technology or LTE service before that.
Numerous fiber optic cables have been installed along existing paths while new communication towers were erected in the regions targeted by the project. The new infrastructure has been sized to accommodate a large number of residents and partners in the community. The project involved the burial of more than 500 km of fiber optic cable to ensure reliable high-speed Internet service for residents of La Tuque, Chambord and Parent. This project prevents service disruptions such as those that have occurred several times in the La Tuque region in recent years.
