EORN Project Update

Connecting
Eastern Ontario
to the World
Project Update • January 2014
Project Overview
The Eastern Ontario Regional Network is helping to spur economic growth
by building improved rural broadband access across the region.
•The project, created by the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus, will
improve access to the internet with higher speeds and bandwidth to at
least 95 per cent of homes and businesses in Eastern Ontario.
•The network covers an area of more than 50,000 square kilometres and
will reach nearly one million people in 11 counties and two single-tier
municipalities.
•The $170-million project is being built through the support of federal,
provincial, municipal and private sector funding. Including private
sector in-kind contributions, the total value of the project has risen to
more than $260 million.
•The network is based on a 5,500-kilometre fibre optic backbone with
about 160 new or improved internet access points that internet service
providers (ISPs) can use to improve local high-speed access.
• The project’s local access networks are 90 per cent completed and will
be finished by the end of 2014.
•In all, 546 sites for wireless broadcast towers or DSL equipment were
built or upgraded throughout the region to build the network.
•The project was expanded in 2013 to build new fibre optic connections
at more than 50 business parks and clusters across the region.
•In 2013, the project garnered international recognition for improving
broadband access when it was short-listed for an award by the
Broadband World Forum.
•Improved rates and packages for satellite services have been
negotiated for rural Eastern Ontario residents and businesses, to
ensure preferred pricing for the region.
The Eastern Ontario Regional Network is transforming rural
Eastern Ontario and opening up new markets and opportunities
for our economy and improving quality of life for our residents.

Timeline
To build the network, the region was divided into
15 local access zones. The above map outlines when
new local access networks in each zone will be finished
and by which internet service provider (ISP). Most local
access networks are nearly complete, with delays in
some areas due to government approvals, construction
issues or other logistics. Even if a zone isn’t fully built,
most expanded services are already available.
The entire project is to be completed by the end of
2014, with opportunities for future growth. Using an
open, competitive bidding process, contracts were
awarded to ISPs who demonstrated that they would
invest in reaching the greatest number of households.
However, all ISPs will have equal access to the fibre
optic backbone in order to expand their services.
In some areas, more than one ISP was awarded a
contract in order to reach as many households as
possible. Please note that not all listed ISPs will be
available throughout an entire zone. As well, in many
zones, services from other ISPs are also available.

Progress Highlights
Ontario’s largest rural broadband network
The Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) has
nearly reached its goal of enabling high-speed
internet access across the region, improving quality
of life and supporting economic growth.
The project is gaining international profile for its
success. In 2013, it was one of five organizations
short-listed for an award from the Broadband
World Forum that recognizes efforts to improve
broadband penetration.
The regional network has three main components:
a fibre optic backbone, a series of local access
networks and satellite coverage. This structure
has provided residents and businesses across the
region with improved access to internet speeds of
10 Mbps or more through DSL, wireless or satellite
services. As well, a range of internet packages
and technologies are available offering speeds of
3 Mbps to 9 Mbps, in order to meet the varying
needs of residents.
In 2013, the project expanded to include improved
broadband coverage to more than 50 business
parks and clusters, further improving economic
development opportunities across the region.
As well, EORN is actively investigating how to best
to use remaining funds to fill in gaps and further
expand the reach of broadband in the region.
1)Backbone
The regional network is based on a high-capacity
scalable fibre optic backbone of 5,500 kilometres.
This critical piece of the network was completed on
schedule and launched in late 2012. The $70-million
construction involved laying 520 kilometres of
new cable to connect 5,000 kilometres of existing
fibre. The backbone also has 160 new or improved
internet access points that ISPs can use to deliver
broadband to residents.

Eastern Ontario Regional Network • Project Update January 2014
2) Local Access
In order to connect the fibre optic backbone to
homes and businesses, EORN created 15 zones
within Eastern Ontario. In all, 22 contracts were
awarded to ISPs through an open and competitive
bidding process to build local networks within
these zones.
Key criteria included:
• the geographic reach and number of
households covered by the network;
• the speeds and bandwidth that will be achieved;
• competitive consumer pricing;
• the financial investment by EORN; and,
• the investment to be made by the company.
Ranging from local telecoms to national
providers, the ISPs are expanding broadband
access using a combination of wired and
wireless technologies.
These local access networks are 90 per cent
finished and will be completed by spring 2014.
3)Satellite
To ensure comprehensive broadband coverage,
EORN has negotiated improved services and
better rates for satellite internet services
with Xplornet Communications Inc. Satellite
technology offers high-speed internet access
for areas that cannot be reached through wired
or wireless connections. Xplornet’s 4G satellite
network, launched in 2012, represents a major
leap forward in advanced technologies, with
significantly more capacity and an improved
subscriber experience. Residents and businesses
can choose from a range of satellite services to
meet their individual needs, with speeds of up
to 10 Mbps.
Expanding broadband to business hubs
First Nations
In 2013, EORN sought to increase broadband
access at business parks and clusters, to further
improve economic opportunity in the region.
The EORN project will help meet the important goal
of improving First Nations’ access to affordable
broadband. EORN has been working collaboratively
with these communities to ensure that they share in
the benefits of the network. Highlights include:
Several service providers were selected through a
competitive process to build new high-speed fibre
internet connections to more than 50 business
parks and clusters. The locations were identified
by municipalities.
The project adds to the number of business
parks and clusters that already have broadband
service in the region. The project is valued at
about $11.1 million, and is being funded through
existing EORN project funding and investments by
the three private sector partners. The new fibre
broadband connections will be completed by the
end of 2014.
Building and maintaining the network
With the addition of the business park initiative,
EORN construction will be completed by the end
of 2014. Contracts with private sector partners
also set out long-term technical and customer
service requirements until 2024. EORN’s Board of
Directors and staff are responsible for ensuring
these obligations are met and for monitoring vendor
performance both during construction and once
the network is operational. EORN also tracks the
performance feedback it receives from residents and
businesses and advocates on behalf of customers.
EORN is committed to an open access policy. This
means that any CRTC-registered ISP will have the
option to buy wholesale bandwidth at the same
rates on the backbone, co-locate on EORN-funded
sites, or resell access services. The goal is to create
a level playing field that will encourage an open
and competitive market place for internet services
in the community.
• The Alderville First Nation has direct fibre
connectivity at its community centre, health
services, student services and administrative
offices. These access points connect to portions of
new fibre optic cable that was laid by Bell Aliant
and Bell through Alderville First Nation’s traditional
lands and treaty area.
• The Curve Lake First Nation has a new
internet access point and local fibre network,
which is providing broadband connections
to key community buildings, such as the
school, community centre, business centre and
administration offices.
• The Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation
has received new DSL services through the project,
an expansion that also resulted in improved phone
lines to the community.
• The Mohawks of the Akwesasne are currently
pursuing opportunities to create a local network
that connects to a new fibre optic internet access
point, which was built by EORN.
Our communities developed a shared vision.
Working with the support of the federal,
provincial and municipal governments, and
in partnership with the private sector, we are
making that vision a reality.

• In southeastern Frontenac, while service is available in
some areas, expanded wireless service from Xplornet will
be complete by March 2014. This portion of the County
experienced some delays due to difficulties in finalizing site
locations and approvals.
In all, DSL and wireless services will provide access to internet
speeds of 10 Mbps to 12,370 of the County’s households, and
to most of rural Kingston’s 3,680 households. The remaining
5,500 households can access satellite internet services at
improved speeds and pricing negotiated by EORN.
Business Parks
Business clusters in Sydenham and Verona will get fibrebased high-speed internet through Bell Aliant. Three Kingston
business parks: Alcan, Catararqui Estates and St. Lawrence,
will get this service through a contract with Utilities Kingston.
This work will be completed by the end of 2014.

access was improved by several ISPs:
!.
• Most of the United Counties will be served by new
construction from Bell Aliant and Xplornet, which is nearly
complete. Delays are due to local site approval processes and
construction challenges with the laying of local fibre. Both ISPs
should be finished by end of April 2014.
• Storm Internet, a locally based ISP, has completed construction
of its new wireless network in the northwestern part of the
Counties. Bell Alliant expects to complete construction of
improved DSL services in this area by end of April 2014.

• Morrisburg Industrial Park
• Ingleside Industrial Park
• Long Sault East Industrial Park in South Stormont
• Cornwall Business Park, Saunders Drive Business Park and

Expanding high-capacity, highspeed internet fibre to these

local businesses It is a real boon
for economic development.
Eric Duncan, Warden

Dundas and Glengarry
The expansion of the fibre optic network is
particularly timely given the Municipality’s current
initiative to extend roadway access to additional lands
in the Morrisburg Business Park. Both are important
infrastructure developments and will help support
the expansion of existing businesses and make the
location competitive in the attraction of new business.
