The Rainy River District School Board has completed the first phase of a board wide project to connect its schools with fibre optic cable.
Manager of Information Services Stephen Danielson says the first phase of the Wide Area Network infrastructure saw the installation of a cable between the new Robert Moore School and the board office.
"Fibre optic connections allow for very high speeds of data that the radios we currently use are just not capable of," says Danielson. "They also can't be interfered with. It's the next evolution in technology that we need to take."
Danielson says other schools, including local catholic schools, will be connected in the near future.
