The Connected Coast is in the process of deploying ~3,500km of marine fibre optic infrastructure along the BC coastline. The impact of the project and the opportunities it will provide to communities it connects will be enormous. Access to reliable high-speed internet means that residents will be able to access online learning and health services, emergency notifications, news and participate in online discussions and sharing. It will also open new economic development opportunities for residents who will be able to work remotely and participate on e-commerce and online business development. Cable Location As-built cable location files in KMZ (Google Earth file format) & GPX (navigation file) are available. Please fill out the form below to receive a copy and future file updates. KMZ formatted files are importable into Nobeltec equipment, please refer to your user guide for instructions. Check back regularly for updates to these files. The cable will also be registered on marine charts by Canadian Hydrographic Services (CHS) as well as listed on provincial tenure mapping. All above zero tide buried or surface laid installations will also be registered with BC One Call, anyone seeking information about our terrestrial works and their proximity to planned or emergency civil works should contact BC One Call and follow the established “call before you dig” process and policies.
