North Sault Broadband and Cellular Schedule

Updated 15 Jul 10

Important updates: 

Latest Update on 15 Jul10

The Batchawana Site became operational on 20 May 10.

Batchawana now has customers connected. As an unofficial guide the fixed wireless broadband signal coverage is in the areas of Sand Point, Jones Landing, Old Mill Bay, Havilland Bay, Grassy Bay, Marlette's Bay, and Grindstone Point. Other areas are also in the footprint  so check with TBayTel. Terrain features affect the fixed wireless signal so there are holes in the coverage, most noticeably Horseshoe Bay.

Potential Customers can contact TBayTel at 1-800-264-9501 to get additional information.

The commissioning of the Heyden cellular and broadband site and the Bellevue broadband  site continues to be delayed. Technical issues between TBayTel, the network operator and owner of the Heyden tower, and MTS Allstream, the owner of the Bellevue tower, need to be resolved. TBayTel has not provided a  date when they expect to have the problem resolved.   

TBayTel has selected the Buttermilk Resort area as the location  of the Goulais River cellular and broadband site and is going through the regulatory approval process. The site is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2010.

Tote Mountain Ski Hill outside Wawa has been selected as the new Hwy 17 cell site identified as Michipicoten.

As of 14 Jan 10 TBayTel is listing Searchmont as one of their wireless broadband service areas 

The broadband (high-speed Internet will be provided using wireless technology. The service provider will be TBayTel. Contact TBayTel for additional details.

TBayTel is working hard to implement the project as quickly as possible.
This is the proposed schedule and is subject to change as the project progresses.

The Heyden site will be located on Hwy 17 due east of the MTO Weigh Station. The actual tower was put in place during the second week of December 2009 and can be seen from Hwy 17

This version changes the 2009 dates and moves Searchmont to 2009 from 2010

An ADnet initiative resulted in all parties involved to agree in principle that a broadband capability be added to the existing Bellevue site. A schedule will not be available until all the necessary contractual paperwork is completed.
