New Tower Construction, Upgrade Towers & New Fibre Installation
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
New (Single) Tower Construction
NHCN Broadband Inc. is proposing the construction of a 45.7 meter telecommunication tower to provide high-speed internet access to the Norway House Cree Nation. An antenna will be mounted at the top of the tower. The antenna will operate in the 5 GHz frequency bands. All of the equipment necessary to operate this facility will be housed in a small equipment cabinet located on site. This tower may undergo future modifications or the addition/replacement of antennas.
Upgrade (Multiple) Tower
NHCN Broadband Inc. is proposing to the addition of an antenna, in the 5 GHz frequency band, mounted at the top of an existing 45.7 meter towers which is located on Norway House Cree Nation. The antenna will be installed to improve network access to high-speed internet. In the future, the existing towers may have other antennas and other radiocommunication equipment added or replaced.
New Fibre Installation
NHCN Broadband Inc. plans to install aerial fiber optic cabling, for Internet purposes, to all towers in the Norway House Cree Nation. The project involves the installation of approximately 21 km of underground and aerial fiber optic cable from the NHCN Multiplex Central Office to all the project sites (tower locations) as listed above.
The cable will be suspended on support structures or buried by directional drilling, trenching, or using existing conduits, or a combination of these methods in existing roadway alignments to connect the towers.
