Municipalities

A private fiber network allows municipalities to connect all their buildings into a single "campus" solution. From City Hall to recreational centers, fire halls to libraries, a secure network enables unlimited bandwidth communication between buildings.

Furthermore, TeraSpan's micro-trenching technique can deliver last mile fiber to places that service providers have yet to reach. We can safely deploy fiber through heritage areas where conventional builds would otherwise be prohibited.

Municipalities throughout North America are discovering the benefits of owing and controlling their own telecommunications infrastructure:

  • Private and secure building-to-building connectivity
  • Unlimited bandwidth communications between buildings
  • Ability to inexpensively combine voice & data services
  • Reduced dependence on service provider
  • Reduced monthly bills from service provider
  • Increased bandwidth to users of web-based services at public sites (eg. Internet access at a local library)
  • More efficient traffic monitoring and management
  • Integrate government information
  • Enhanced police, fire and utility management
  • Facilitate parking meter control and revenue collection
  • Improve management of licensing, permitting, taxes and billing
  • Disseminate cultural and community information

Municipalities are unlimited as to the number and types of applications they can run over their fiber network, including:

  • Voice over IP
  • Security services like CCTV
  • Automation continuity
  • Disaster recovery
  • Asset management

TeraSpan has successfully deployed VIF networks for the following municipalities:

  • Winnipeg, MB
  • Ladysmith, BC
  • New Westminster, BC
  • Port Coquitlam, BC
  • Surrey, BC
  • Nanaimo, BC
  • Campbell River, BC

"Because the solution is virtually invisible after installation, we were able to avoid the unsightly visual effects resulting from aerial or traditional trenching. We now have a secure, dedicated fiber connection that can be used for all of our data, voice and video needs."
