Xplornet Communications plans to bring broadband to rural Canada

Xplornet Communications, a rural Internet provider in Canada, is pleased to announce that it has acquired 42 blocks of 2500 MHz spectrum in rural areas from across the country in a recent auction.

The newly acquired 2500 MHz spectrum will be put to use to support Xplornet’s continued roll-out of fixed wireless high-speed Internet to rural Canadians. The 2500 MHz Spectrum is critical to the delivery of high-speed Internet in rural areas, and the configuration Xplornet has acquired is well-suited for providing Internet services.

“It’s a great day for broadband in rural Canada,” said Xplornet President, Allison Lenehan.

Xplornet has invested in technology and infrastructure across Canada. Obtaining spectrum ensures that rural Canadians will not only get higher download speeds up to 25Mbps, but also the capacity that is required for data-rich Internet applications today and in the future.

“While spectrum is often considered for mobile phone use, it’s also essential for helping us deliver wireless high-speed Internet to homes and businesses. This auction was successful in making spectrum accessible to rural Internet services and sets a precedent for how auctions can allow mobile and fixed services equal opportunity to participate and develop services for the benefit of all Canadians,” concluded Lenehan.
