Our Business

During the last quarter-century, the wide-spread use of computers has revolutionized the production, handling and storage of information.

Perhaps the most profound effect established by this change is occurring in the field of information transport. The need for fast, dependable exchange of messages and information between people through their computers is the driving force behind the effort to form a global network infrastructure.

This development is vastly expanding the possibilities of interaction between businesses, organizations and individuals; bringing to us the realization of an information-based society.

UUNET Canada is a communications leader in the emerging Global Village. Transportation of information through the Internet has been our only business since we initiated our network in 1991. Today our back-bone infrastructure covers major population centres from coast to coast, linking Canada to the rest of the world.

The Internet industry was pioneered by UUNET Technologies in the United States in 1986. Our association with UUNET Technologies gives our customers the advantage of joining the most extensively connected Internet service available.

Engineering excellence is the foundation of UUNET's success. Network engineering and administration is our core expertise and business. Our sound infrastructure offers direct, reliable connectivity and a choice of access methods to suit a variety of communications needs.

We service international corporations, financial institutions, utilities, production and service industries, educational and research institutions, government agencies, municipalities, individuals and hundreds of small businesses throughout Canada.

We can make the Internet work for you.
