In 2010, we substantially completed our ADSL2+ broadband
build to 2.1 million households in B.C., Alberta and Eastern
Quebec. We also continued to overlay VDSL2 technology in our
broadband network, enabling us to further enhance Internet
and TV viewing experiences with significantly faster network
speeds. We plan to complete this in 2011. TELUS is also
implementing key upgrades to our IP core and distribution
networks. These major investments will enable TELUS
to continue offering premium differentiated and integrated
Optik TV service and applications.
To future-proof our infrastructure, TELUS continues to
deploy fibre-to-the-home access using gigabit passive optical
network (GPON) technology to connect new single-family
residential developments and fibre-to-the-building to connect
new condos and apartments.
TELUS is converging voice, Optik TV and data services
over our next-generation IP networks, which are expected
to support the ever-increasing customer demand for TV,
Internet and wireless services in more places. We are well
positioned to offer new services, such as TV on your computer
or mobile device. Additional convergence benefits include
simplification of the network, reduced provisioning time and
improved reliability.
The ongoing capital investments that are extending the
speed, reach and capabilities of TELUS’ advanced wireless and
wireline broadband networks should further enhance the cus-
tomer experience and also strengthen our competitive position.
What is TELUS doing to help
transform healthcare across
Canada and what are the prospects
for growth?
FRANÇOIS CÔTÉ
Executive Vice-President, and President
of TELUS Québec and TELUS Health
and Financial Solutions
TELUS Health Solutions is in a key
position to help transform the way health
information is used across the continuum of care. With escalating
costs and the increasing challenge to provide more effective
care to the Canadian population, we believe the best solution
is through innovation and investment in information and com -
munications technology that can reduce costs and errors,
better connect patients, improve health outcomes and drive
the prevention of illness.
TELUS is actively pursuing this exciting endeavour. We
are the national leader in the e-health field, providing electronic
health records for more than five million Canadians and elec-
tronic solutions to over 3,000 pharmacies across the country.
We are also the leading provider of electronic services to
Canadian insurance companies, handling drug, dental and
extended healthcare claims nationwide for over 10 million
Canadians with our advanced and secure technologies.
