Attention Business Editors:
Total Telcom Forms Strategic Alliance with Bell Consortium
Trading symbol: TTZ: CDNX
EDMONTON, Nov. 3 /CNW/ - Total Telcom Inc. (TTZ: CDNX) announces it has
been named as a member of a strategic alliance with the Bell Intrigna
Consortium to facilitate their participation in the Government of Alberta's
SUPERNET initiative to build a fiber optic grid connecting 420 municipalities
with high-speed broadband communication services. The project will link any
community in Alberta that has a school, hospital, library or provincial
government office to other communities via high-speed telecommunication lines.
Total Telcom will provide design, installation, and consulting services
to the strategic alliance. They will be involved in the construction and build
out of the fiber project as an active partner in the Bell Intrigna Consortium.
As a registered Non Dominant Carrier, Total Telcom will own, sell, lease, and
swap dark fiber on this network.
Murray Korth, President and CEO for Bell Intrigna stated, "To deliver the
Government of Alberta strategy, Bell, its operating units Bell Intrigna and
Bell Nexxia, and Axia NetMedia brought together an unprecedented consortium of
global players including, Nortel Networks, Cisco, Microsoft, Wi-Lan, Total
Telcom, 360 Networks, and Netricom Communications Solutions. Bell adopted the
open consortium approach to ensure optimal access to leading-edge technology
services and expertise." Lorne Taylor, Alberta Government Minister of
Innovation and Science said, "The Bell Intrigna Consortium matches up some of
the world's "best-in-class" technology companies with four leading Alberta
technology companies - Axia NetMedia, Total Telcom, Wi-Lan, and Netricom.
Total Telcom CEO, Glen Boyd stated "This alliance brings the company to a new
level of market recognition. The corridor that we have built from Edmonton to
Ft. St. John, BC passes by more than 20 Rural Alberta Communities that should
benefit directly from the SUPERNET initiative. This is a significant
opportunity for our company, and we are very excited about moving forward with
our business plan to be Western Canada's most significant provider of high
speed broadband service to tier two communities."
The Alberta Government will contribute $193 million to this $300 million
initiative. The project is expected to take three years to complete.
The Corporation designs, project manages, constructs, maintains, owns and
operates Broadband Communication Systems. Total Telcom is a leader in turnkey
Broadband Network Development and has extensive experience in Long Haul and
Fiber Ring Optical Networks.
