Yellowhead County, AB (February 8, 2021) – Yellowhead County, in partnership with 3C Information Solutions (Edmonton), Morad Communications (Edson/Hinton), ROCK Networks (Lethbridge – AB Office) , has launched a new rural internet demand aggregation website, https://rocknetworks.servicezones.net/yellowheadcounty. This new platform allows residents to express their interest in bringing high-speed internet to their community, to gather data to best inform the build of a future-proof high-speed broadband network in communities that would otherwise not have any.
“We are excited to have launched a new data collection tool that is available to homes and businesses for registration,” said Albert Bahri, Director of Protective Services of Yellowhead County. “Quickly gathering survey responses will assist us in applying for the funding we need to make this high-speed network a reality.”
This website is a simple-to-use tool where people show their interest in high-speed internet by completing a customer survey, registering, and pre-selecting the kind of service they would like once the network is live. The website also includes an integrated speed-test to verify the quality of the current internet connection. By signing up and using this platform, residents show where the need for internet is greatest, and the areas with the most significant demand will help us decide where to build first.
This demand aggregation website is made possible in partnership with [3C Information Solutions (Edmonton), Morad Communications (Edson/Hinton), ROCK Networks (Lethbridge – AB Office)]. ROCK Networks, is a wireless and broadband solutions provider with specific industry experience working with rural communities to plan, fund, and build high-quality, revenue-generating broadband networks.
