• WREPNet has approximately 35,000 wired computers and 60,000 wireless clients at 332 sites.

  • Approximately 600 kilometres of fibre optic cable is installed to connect the 332 sites throughout Waterloo Region to WREPNet.
  • The fibre optic cable is connected to 10,200 hydro poles.
  • If you laid all of the individual strands contained within the fibre optic network across WREPNet, they would stretch 5,042 km – the distance from Vancouver to St. John’s!
  • About 50 people worked exclusively on the installation component of the WREPNet project. Many of these were hired because of this project.
  • The fibre optic and information technology being installed to support WREPNet represents a $9-million investment for  Waterloo Region.
