Project description

The LTE Haute-Mauricie project involves the installation of new fibre-optic backbones as well as new LTE wireless networks that will allow residents of many remote communities to have high-speed fixed and mobile Internet access through the latest technology available on the market. Most of the residents serviced by the project do not currently have access to high-speed technology or LTE service.

Many fibre-optic cables will be installed along the existing roads while new communication towers will be installed in the region concerned by the project. The new infrastructure will be designed to handle a significant number of residents and partners in the community. The project involves burying over 500 km of fibre-optic cable to ensure reliable high-speed internet service to local residents in La Tuque, Chambord and Parent. This project will prevent disruptions in service such as those that have occurred several times in the La Tuque area in recent years.
