MONTRÉAL, Sept. 23, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Bell Mobility today announced that wireless broadband service is now available to all 25 communities in Nunavut, Canada's northernmost territory, delivering mobile data speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps).

"Bringing Canada's best network to every community in Nunavut was a challenging project and we thank Bell subsidiary Northwestel and all of our partners for their support in making it happen," said Blaik Kirby, President of Bell Mobility. "As the nation's primary builder of communications infrastructure since 1880, Bell's Nunavut project is just the latest example of our commitment to deliver the benefits of broadband connections to Canadian communities large and small."

Bell is also providing fixed wireless Internet access in 21 Nunavut communities while Northwestel is providing service in Arviat, Cambridge Bay, Iqaluit and Rankin Inlet, delivering speeds up to 6 times faster than what was previously available.
