Abstract

The Rural Remote Broadband Systems (RRBS) program is a unique Canadian initiative to provide broadband access to unserved and underserved regions via fixed wireless service operating on unassigned television frequencies in the 512-608 MHz and 614-698 MHz bands.

This study evaluates the RRBS policy as a method to bring efficient and affordable wireless internet service to remote and rural regions of Canada.
