Mobility in rural and dispersed communities, an enabler

Next generation access and wireless technologies are pushing the bandwidth. Wireline and wireless networks are converging over common functional elements. Those changes will significantly transform the way we are using the telecommunication network. The relationship between the user and the content will be at the heart of it “ “Any content, anywhere, anytime”.

Healthcare, business, education, entertainment, ... all sectors will be impacted. Nortel, Bell Canada, and the city of Chapleau have initiated a research project on how broadband technologies and related applications will effectively change the economy and social activities in rural and dispersed communities. City of Chapleau will be provided with broadband telecommunication infrastructure which should enable economic growth, social development, and enhance healthcare and education services. Researchers from Canadian universities will be participating in studying the transformation that the population should experience.
