Cybera - Network & Utility Initiatives - vision
Cybera provides network infrastructure and services to support research, education, and economic development in Alberta. It was formed through the merger of previous organizations. Cybera currently manages several network and research projects and aims to expand broadband access across Alberta, especially in rural areas still lacking connectivity. Peering arrangements allow networks to directly exchange traffic, reducing costs and improving performance compared to traditional transit agreements. Cybera connects to an internet exchange in Seattle, providing improved access to major content providers through both public and private peering connections.
