BCNET is pleased to announce the completion of the Nanaimo Transit Exchange, our seventh Transit Exchange in the province.
By adding this new point of presence, BCNET has improved the robustness of the network infrastructure for Vancouver Island. Members will retain more control over their data, experience fewer network disruptions, and benefit from an additional layer of risk mitigation for any potential environmental issues that may arise because of climate change.
Bala Kathiresan, President and CEO of BCNET, expressed his satisfaction with this project, stating, “This latest development will enhance our network diversity and resilience between Vancouver Island and the Mainland, ensuring data sovereignty and continuity in the event of a crisis.”
Kathiresan also highlighted the importance of collaboration in this project: “This achievement would not have been possible without the support of local municipalities. By leveraging their infrastructure, we have been able to enhance our network capabilities and extend our services more effectively.”
As we celebrate the completion of The Nanaimo Transit Exchange, we acknowledge the collective effort that has brought us to this point. BCNET will continue to innovate and invest in the network, as per our strategic priorities, and explore new projects. We are working together to ensure that the evolving needs of our entire network are being met so they can remain at the forefront of technological advancements.
