High Speed Access in the City of Kawartha Lakes

TAG is pleased to be coordinating the Broadband Expansion Project on behalf of the City of Kawartha Lakes. A contract has been awarded to Xplornet, a division of Barrett Xplore Inc. to provide broadband coverage in rural areas of the City where high-speed Internet service was previously unavailable. These areas are known as the “broadband gap” areas.

Technology and Network Coverage

During 2008 the project extended service to 78% of the dwellings that previously existed in the broadband gap.

Fixed wireless does have some coverage limitations as it is a line-of-sight technology. Therefore, a small percentage of homes or businesses may not be able to receive a fixed wireless signal due to obstructions or topography. Xplornet offers its state-of-the-art satellite broadband to residents who are unable to access the fixed wireless network, and we are continuing to work beyond the initial project to solve specific problem locations.
