Xplornet Enterprise Solutions Rural networks connect Manitobans Imagine surviving day-to-day life without reliable connectivity on your computer or wireless devices. In many rural communities, that is a reality. But it is changing in Manitoba thanks to Xplornet Enterprise Solutions' leading technology and a new lucrative partnership. Xplornet Enterprise Solutions provides fibre, fixed wireless and satellite broadband solutions across Canada. Having recently signed an agreement with the Government of Manitoba, the company is expanding its customized connectivity solutions for businesses and the communities they serve. In fall 2021, Xplornet began construction to start delivering fibre-to-the-home and next-generation 5G-ready wireless broadband to nearly 350 rural and 30 First Nations communities in Manitoba. The project will see numerous benefits to residents in the respective areas, including more reliable connectivity and job creation. "We've always leveraged our local talent," said Robbie Zetariuk, Vice President, Xplornet Enterprise Solutions Inc. "It's about continuing to employ Manitobans. More Manitobans will be contracted to build and install, and complete service work. We have dealer channels as well as our own technicians. There will be a tremendous amount of job opportunities because of the extensive build." Fostering solid relationships within the community and at all levels of government has kept Xplornet an industry leader. "Xplornet has always had a strong relationship with federal and provincial governments right across Canada," said Zetariuk. "With the Government of Manitoba, it's allowed us to continue to invest in the communities to improve the rural broadband. It's changed the footprint for Canadians. I have a tremendous sense of pride." It's about continuing to employ Manitobans. More Manitobans will be contracted to build and install, and complete service work."
