Internet Service Provider (ISP) Summary of the Requirement
The Core Technology department is seeking an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide high-speed internet service solutions to various remote locations across British Columbia.
Background, Objectives and Scope
FNHA's Innovation and Information Management Services (IIMS) department is responsible for services related to eHealth, Core Technology, Privacy, IT Security, Enterprise Project Management Office, Applications, and Analytics and

Information Management.
The challenges of distance, transportation, difficult terrain, small markets and constantly evolving technology, all contribute to making installation of telecommunications infrastructure extremely challenging in remote areas of British Columbia. The purpose of issuing this RFP is to have Contractors that have the interest and capabilities to provide broadband Internet service to residents living in remote areas of British Columbia for locations who have no other service options available to them for broadband Internet services.
Proponents will be expected to provide affordable services to residents and businesses that will maintain independently certified 'broadband' or 'high speed' standardized speeds, using Canadian methods of standardization such as those established by Industry Canada and/or CRTC regulations.
