Broadband Access Capacity
• Capacity (Canadian Broadband Task Force, June 2001)– 1.5 Mbit/s two-way for households– 10 Mbit/s two-way for institutions– 1 Gbit/s for major institutions such as hospitals

Broadband Access technologies
• Satellite– Conventional C and Ku technology for community access, Ka-band technology for
“direct-to-home” access
• Terrestrial– Optical Fiber: High capacity trunking, transport, fiber to the home in urban settings
– Cable: Broadband piggy-backed on Cable-TV installations where they exist in rural and remote areas
– ADSL: Trend towards Micro-DSLAM and DSL repeaters to reach farther and VDSL to increase capacity over shorter distance
– Wireless:• Licence-exempt bands
– Local Area Network (LAN) (Wi-Fi, Wi-Max)– Extended LAN
• Rural Area Network (RAN)• Multimedia Broadcasting

Multimedia broadcasting
• Large data capacity: up to 20 Mbit/s per 6 MHz channel
• Large coverage: typically 70 km radius• Frequency agile: VHF-UHF operation• Non-Line-Of-Sight: robust to multipath and to
interference • Low cost: consumers products (ATSC, DVB-T,
ISDB-T)
Slide 10
Why is Broadband Important?
• Systematic gap between the quality of life enjoyed by Canadians living in or near the urban areas of the country and those living in rural areas
• Broadband has the potential to bridge the economic and social gaps that separate Canadian communities – Strengthening economy– Improving health care– Making new learning opportunities
Slide 11
Geographic Challenges
• Relative to other countries Canada has low population density
• Rural/remote areas unlikely to be served by market forces, as business case non-existent

Slide 13
Broadband Pilot Program
• To provide funding to unserved communities to prepare business plans that detail the need for broadband services in their communities
• To implement broadband services that will address the needs of these communities in the areas of education, health and governance
• To create opportunities for learning by sharing best practices among communities
• To demonstrate and validate the benefits of broadband in unleashing the full innovative potential of communities across Canada
• To create new business opportunities, domestically and globally, for Canadian ICT companies
A $105M pilot program to assist unserved communities with a priority given to First Nations, northern, rural and remote communities. Objectives:
Broadband – The Platform for Innovation and Inclusion
