Question 1

Who provides data center connectivity in Alberta?

Accepted Answer

Alberta is the frontier of Canadian AI data-center development, with Calgary as the gravity center and the Wonder Valley project signaling the scale of what's coming. Fiber infrastructure is still catching up to the 30+ AI DC projects in the AESO interconnection queue — this is a market where connectivity should be scoped alongside power and land from day one, not treated as a later-stage checklist item, given how far ahead of regional fiber build-out the project queue currently runs. Konative is a vendor-neutral brokerage: we make national and regional carriers compete for laterals, wavelengths, dedicated internet, and transport into Alberta facilities, at no cost to the buyer.

Question 2

How long does fiber construction take in Alberta?

Accepted Answer

Fiber cable lead times currently run 20 weeks to a year, and lateral construction typically needs 1–3 months of design, 3–6 months of permitting, and 3–12 months of build depending on distance and terrain. In Alberta, start connectivity scoping at site selection — not at commissioning.

Question 3

How do I get carrier-neutral quotes in Alberta?

Accepted Answer

Bring us the site (or coordinates) and requirements. We run the market across 100+ suppliers through our distribution partnership, return apples-to-apples quotes with construction and timeline detail, and stay on the account for its life. The suppliers pay us — the service costs you nothing.
