Modern Telecommunications for Cree Communities Welcome to Eeyou Istchee – soon to be a connected land of nine Cree Nations where high-speed fibre optic service will reach every student, every home, every school, every clinic, every community service, every commercial outlet and every council office.
Together, they developed a plan to create a network that will provide the same quality of services available in large urban centres. -- for telehealth and social services, for distance and regional learning, for high-speed Internet service to the public, to institutions and to business.
As Grand Chief Ted Moses told a group of high-tech executives earlier this summer, “we are a community confident that we have a role in the future of our land. But to exist successfully alongside cities in North America, we need the technology and the support of technology professionals.”
Together, they developed a plan to create a network that will provide the same quality of services available in large urban centres. -- for telehealth and social services, for distance and regional learning, for high-speed Internet service to the public, to institutions and to business.
During the construction phase, training will be conducted as a CEGEP program. These courses will cover fibre-optic theory and maintenance, Internet technology, computer sciences, programming, software development, installation and troubleshooting; students will graduate with a diploma in technical sciences.
