Update December 2009

New QINIQ Network Goes Live December 11th!

For almost three months, SSi's technicians have been travelling to the communities, upgrading base stations, installing new hardware, tuning satellite dishes and conducting routine maintenance. On December 11th the upgrades will be completed in all 25 Nunavut communities and the new network will go live! This new, more efficient QINIQ system means:

  • More bandwidth to support more customers
  • Improvements in speed, especially during busy hours
  • The ability for users to move more data
  • Fewer outages

See www.nunavut-broadband.ca/movingforward.htm for more information.

Our Mission

The Nunavut Broadband Development Corporation aims to bring affordable, high speed access to the Internet (broadband) to Nunavummiut in all 25 Nunavut communities by supporting local businesses to deliver broadband and related services. Our focus is to bring broadband services to citizens, municipalities, Inuit organizations, businesses, and others not currently served by the Governments of Nunavut and Canada.
