John Mather

Mundare council got an update on new internet services being offered in the community including the opportunity to have the service installed in a few Town community facilities.

Kevin Bernhardt, the business development manager for MCSnet, brought a powerpoint presentation to council April 18, outlining the services provided by the St. Paul-based company.

“I just want to tell you about the new technology we’re rolling out and some of our plans for the future,” he said.

Councillor Rick Patrie quickly agreed.

“It’s phenomenal,” he said of the service. “I think I was one of the first people to sign up for it.

“It works like a damn. My normal download is 700 megabytes per second if I’m in my basement and I can’t use that much.”

He added he had been a MSCnet customer for more than 15 years.

Bernhardt was promoting the new GigAir services the company provides.

He told council MSCnet serves an area from Lloydminster to St. Paul up to Westlock and Athabasca and most rural communities from the border of Edmonton to the north and east. They also serve down into the Camrose, Wainwright and Provost area.

They have more than 26,000 customers.

“We have invested in and built an internal network of more than 540 fixed wireless towers, three fibre to premise communities and we are a pioneer on our ever expanding GigAir technology,” he told council.

Several councillors said they had signed up for the service because of Patrie’s positivity about the service.

Bernhardt told council the company had been formed in 1995 and was family owned.

“Our focus is rural internet provision,” he added.

He said the government had designated the internet in rural areas as an essential service and

MCSnet was trying to meet the need.

He said that GigAir has now become the focus of the company.

He said as the company grows, crews lay hundreds of kilometres of fibre throughout the years to connect the towers to provide the GigAir service.

He said Chipman had “really embraced our GigAir service.”

He gave a technical briefing on how the service works using a mesh network that connects homes within a 200 metres range of each other using specialized antenna that reaches out to the area tower.

He said in Mundare there were currently 129 households using the service.

Bernhardt said while the GigAir service was available in the town, it wasn’t yet available in all areas.

“But we’re getting there,” said Bernhardt.

He said the service was “quick and easy and the company provided both good rates and reliable technology.

“We also have a fabulous customer service department,” he added. “When you phone us, you get a real person.”

He then talked to council about a municipal partnership.

“We can hook up your library, arena and rec. centres,” he said. “And make them WIFI hotspots.”

“We’re looking for community use so the WIFI can work for the public,” he said. “What we want is a sign that states free WIFI is provided by MSCnet.”

Patrie said the Mundare Agricultural Society had already talked about getting the service for the arena because of the large number of teams playing there from out of town.

Patrie added some of the super league games played at the arena were being live streamed and the WIFI was necessary for that.

He added MSCnet was interested in sponsoring events in the community. Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla asked how the Town would start the service.

Bernhardt said the town could sign a letter of interest and then a crew would come out and assess the best location to provide the service and then installers would come and install the system.

Bernhardt added there was no limit to the num- ber of public buildings that could get WIFI.

Zyla said the Town was interested in the MRC, the arena and the

HUB building at Victoria Park.

Councillors weren’t sure if Ukrainia Park would be able to use the system. Council thanked Bernhardt for his presentation and they said they would be in contact.
