Launch of New Services in September 2010

Time Shift, Meet Online - NBDC is pleased to announce that the new broadband services being developed by SSi Micro under the Infrastructure II project will be unveiled to the public at the Nunavut Trade Show in Iqaluit this coming September 21-23. We had optimistically anticipated the rollout of these file sharing and video conferencing products a bit earlier, but we decided to go the extra mile to ensure the most thorough design and review process possible. Over the summer, final testing will be conducted.

See www.nunavut-broadband.ca/movingForward.htm for more information on the new services resulting from the Infrastructure Phase II project, including Local Connect and Classroom Connect.

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.
