Alberta SuperNet is a high speed performance network connecting over 429 communities in both urban and rural Alberta. Over 10,000 kilometers of trenched fibre optices and 3,000 kilometers of high-speed wireless. There are two main networks one owned and operated by Bell Canada which covers off 27 cities in Alberta. The other 398 communities in rural Alberta are owned by the Government of Alberta but the network operations are operated by Axia SuperNet Ltd in Calgary, Alberta. Service providers are able to connect to the Alberta SuperNet through Axia SuperNet Ltd when they have completed an agreement (CAR) to provide access to high-speed internet for rural residents and small businesses. There are 1,300 healthcare facilities, 2,300 schools, 311 libraries, 200+ small urban municipalities that are connected. First Nations, Treaty 6, 7 and 8 have also connected 157 education facilities, 95 schools and 44 Federal Health Care Facilities. Eight Metis Settlements have also connected. Bell Canada built the Alberta SuperNet after a legal dispute with AXIA SuperNet Ltd. This is one of the largest networks in the world.
