Fiber Network Solutions
Experts and Pioneers in Fiber networks
With telecom industry world-firsts, we are a pioneer with fiber technology. In 1984, SaskTel designed and constructed the world’s longest fiber optics network. At 2,000 miles long, which was 200 times longer than the longest fiber network in the world at that time, it was considered a pioneering innovation.
Other telecoms took notice and in 1986 SaskTel formed an international division – SaskTel International, to partner with clients throughout the world to design, build, and construct fiber networks.
