Gravenhurst Gigabit Community (Fibre to the Home and Business)

completed

Closed

The project involves the construction of approximately 27 km of fibre optic cable within the Town of Gravenhurst. The majority of the fibre optic cable (24 km) will be attached to existing utility poles (most owned by Veridian, with some Hydro One and Bell Canada poles as well). The remaining sections of the project will involve the burial of the fibre optic cable using directional drilling beneath existing municipal right of ways (ROWs). The underground construction sections of this project are limited to Muskoka Road N, Muskoka Road S and Bay St to the waterfront development. Future underground expansion into existing subdivisions without aerial utility infrastructure is beyond the scope of the current project but will be evaluated on an ongoing basis beyond the The project involves the construction of approximately 27 km of fibre optic cable within the Town of Gravenhurst.

Maps detailing the proposed fibre optic paths of the project can be found in the attachments section. The project deliverable will be a Fibre to the Home and Business (FTTH) network owned and operated by Vianet. The network will be built to be capable of Gigabit speeds to all homes and businesses along the paths described above. The project will pass more than 1350 homes and businesses. Although exis
