Opportunities on the Alberta SuperNet
The Alberta SuperNet is a high-speed, high-capacity broadband network linking government offices, schools, health-care facilities and libraries. It is a pathway that lets government, educators and health care workers share and deliver information and services province-wide, and faster than ever before.
E-Business: High-Speed Opportunities. Alberta SuperNet will establish an exciting environment for telecommunication and high-speed application business opportunities throughout the province.
At the same time, access to the high-speed, broadband capabilities of Alberta SuperNet will provide many rural Alberta businesses with the opportunity to expand their marketing, service and production horizons. Capitalizing on e-business opportunities will mean that businesses located hundreds of kilometres from the nearest large city will be competing directly and fairly with their big-city counterparts, benefitting from improved abilities to market products and services, research and communicate efficiently with suppliers and clients.
Building a Web Presence. Building a web presence (not just a web site) is becoming essential to business success, regardless of the size of business. In fact, small- and medium-size businesses often stand to benefit the most from strengthening their e-commerce efforts.
This means more than just having a web site for your business. It means using the power of the Internet to reach new customers, suppliers and employees you couldn’t otherwise reach. High-speed applications – such as videoconferencing, VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and data services, including backup services, distributed databases, office and financial applications – will help businesses function more efficiently and profitably, from anywhere in the province.
Web Services. A developing area of e-business is Web services, an emerging set of technologies that let computer programs talk to one another over the Internet, bridging incompatibilities between hardware platforms, software languages and operating systems. Web services will make it easier and cheaper for businesses to create on-line links with partners, suppliers and customers. While making existing e-business applications more useful, thousands of applications for Web services are under development.
Urban Business Benefits. Although SuperNet is primarily a rural Alberta community initiative, urban-based Alberta businesses will also benefit. With Alberta SuperNet bringing high-speed access to hundreds of rural Alberta communities, urban businesses can now market their products and services online to new rural markets.
About the SuperNet
The Alberta Supernet is a high speed backbone connecting several hubs in the Canadian province of Alberta. Government institutions such as schools, libraries, and hospitals are supposed to get free access however private companies can set up services to provide access to the backbone to the general public.
