Description

The goal is to identify Vendors who are interested in bringing services to the NSRBN that can meet the directives as set out in Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2018-377. Services must be capable of providing a minimum download speed of 25 Mbps and a minimum upload speed of 5 Mbps. However, the Commission expects that proposed projects that do not meet the universal service objective-level speeds of 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload will be scalable, meaning that speeds of 50/10 Mbps will be provided to the target community at a future date through capacity upgrades in the access or transport infrastructure. It is the intent of the NSRBN that the 50/10 target is attained in the member communities no later than December 2024. Transport projects for new builds must offer a minimum capacity of 1 Gbps, and proposed projects that would upgrade transport infrastructure must offer a minimum capacity of 10 Gbps.
Based on the responses from the EOI, Vendors may be invited to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the NSRBN. Vendors may also indicate whether they would participate jointly with other Vendors to provide service to the entire NSRBN group of communities, whereby such Vendors would not overlap with each other’s target communities as part of this project.
