一个1.2B宽带项目将高速纤维带给安大略北部的偏远地区,10月16日发射,速度高达8千兆位/秒。 A $1.2B broadband project brings high-speed fibre to remote Northern Ontario, launching October 16 with speeds up to 8 Gbps.

由ROCK网络牵头的一个政府支持的宽带项目正在将高速纤维互联网扩展至安大略北部偏远社区,包括Panache湖周围地区以及从索尔特到苏德伯里地区。 A government-backed broadband project led by ROCK Networks is expanding high-speed fibre internet to remote Northern Ontario communities, including areas around Panache Lake and from the Sault to Sudbury. 该倡议的资金超过12亿美元,来自联邦和省,旨在将18 600个家庭——超过2 500个土著家庭——连接起来,使用一个25igabit的被动光学网络,这是加拿大农村地区首个此类网络。 Funded with over $1.2 billion from federal and provincial sources, the initiative aims to connect 18,600 households—more than 2,500 Indigenous—using a 25-gigabit passive optical network, the first of its kind in rural Canada. 9月下旬,机组人员开始在电线杆上安装纤维,预计11月在Lively、Espanola和Gore Bay开始连接。 Crews began installing fibre on power poles in late September, with initial connections expected by November in Lively, Espanola, and Gore Bay. 新的网站很快将允许居民检查覆盖范围,因为该项目确定了先前地图遗漏的房屋。 A new website will soon allow residents to check coverage, as the project identifies homes missed by earlier maps. 该服务在10月16日由母公司PomeGran的一个新的ISP品牌下启动,提供速度从150兆字节到8千兆字节-远超过DSL并匹配或超过Starlink-而成本低于Starlink,但略高于传统的DSL。 The service, launching October 16 under a new ISP brand from parent company PomeGran, will offer speeds from 150 Mbps to 8 Gbps—far exceeding DSL and matching or surpassing Starlink—while costing less than Starlink but slightly more than traditional DSL. 该项目支持国家和省级目标,即到2026年实现近乎普及的互联网接入,到年底在安大略省实现完全连通。 The project supports national and provincial goals to achieve near-universal internet access by 2026 and full connectivity in Ontario by year’s end.
