KNET’s 10GB Upgrade: Connecting Our Communities for a Stronger Future
KNET is continuing its commitment to building faster, more reliable internet connections across our northern and remote Indigenous communities. If you’ve noticed our team in your community lately, here’s what we’re working on.
Phase One – Completed Last Year
In 2024, the first phase of the 10GB upgrade was all about getting the connection to your community and ensuring each location had the right equipment at the head end (in-community technical hub). This step focused on installing and upgrading infrastructure to ensure every community had the technical foundation needed for future improvements.
Phase Two – Happening Now
We are now focused on upgrading community infrastructure—the systems and equipment that connect local buildings and essential services to that core head-end infrastructure. This means faster, more stable internet connections for:
- Nursing Stations
- Band Offices
- Other essential community services
These upgrades will strengthen communication, support vital health and safety operations, and improve access to online resources that keep communities thriving.
Residential Service
At this time, we are not providing residential connections as part of this upgrade project. Our current focus is on ensuring critical community services have the strongest and most reliable connections possible.
Looking Ahead
Every step we take brings us closer to a more connected North. We appreciate your patience as our technicians work to complete these upgrades, and we look forward to sharing more progress with you soon.
