Case Study: MaRS Discovery District achieves scalable, high‑capacity connectivity for tenants and global research partners with Aptum

MaRS Discover District - Customer Case Study

MaRS Discover District, a Canadian non-profit innovation centre, needed a high-capacity, fully scalable bandwidth connection to link its main facility with collaborators around the corner and across the globe and to give tenants fast, reliable access to research networks such as ORION and CANARIE. Aptum was engaged to provide a connectivity solution delivering high-capacity fiber links to meet those needs.

Aptum implemented a high-capacity fiber connectivity solution that extended internet access to the main MaRS facility and offsite locations, enabled peer-to-peer connections with ORION and CANARIE, and delivered wide-area bandwidth to support VoIP and video conferencing. The Aptum solution provided reliable, scalable network capacity that improved stakeholder communications and allowed MaRS to grow or shrink bandwidth as market demands changed.
