This announcement is the result of Xplornet’s ongoing private investment as well as Opportunity New Brunswick’s $10 million contribution under Phase 1 of the Rural Broadband Upgrade Project to deploy state-of-the-art scalable hybrid fibre wireless technology in its facilities-based network in order to deliver fast, reliable and affordable broadband services to meet the needs of rural Canadians.
