Xplore to offer faster rural satellite internet following Jupiter 3 launch
BNN Bloomberg
Canadian rural internet provider Xplore Inc. plans to offer faster satellite internet to those in remote locations this fall following the launch of the Jupiter 3 satellite into space.
The New Brunswick-based telecommunications company said the technology will provide a homegrown alternative to broadband internet service offered to rural Canadians through SpaceX's Starlink low-earth orbit satellites.
Xplore president and chief commercial officer Rizwan Jamal said his company's new broadband service will include speeds of 100 megabits per second, which is double the maximum speed it currently offers for satellite internet.
Other perks include professional installation, no upfront hardware costs and 24/7 Canada-based customer support.
