TELUS Deploys Submarine Fibre Optic Cable to Enhance Communications Service Resilience on the North Shore

TELUS has successfully deployed a submarine fibre optic cable connecting Sept-Îles to Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, providing essential redundancy to the telecommunications network serving communities east of Baie-Comeau. The $20 million project was co-funded by TELUS and the Government of Canada. The cable offers massive bandwidth capacity, ultra-low latency, and multi-decade durability, ensuring physical redundancy as part of TELUS' diverse route strategy.
