The Aliant group of advanced technology companies and its staff of more than 9,500 professionals delivers full service, integrated solutions through its four core lines of business: wireline and wireless telecommunications, information technology, mobile satellite services, and emerging business solutions. From its base in Atlantic Canada, Aliant serves residential and business customers worldwide.

Aliant began operations in June 1999 with the merger of Bruncor, Island Telecom, MTT and NewTel Enterprises. While Aliant is indeed new, many of its underlying subsidiaries have a rich history within the Atlantic Canadian region. The company which formed Island Tel, Prince Edward Island’s leading telecommunications company, was incorporated in 1885. Other Aliant companies like NewTel Communications, MTT and NBTel have been part of the lives of thousands of Atlantic Canadians for decades. These companies remain as the trusted source for telecommunications today.

Aliant continues to build on its established telecommunications business. However, given today’s global economy, it is increasingly focused on the delivery of integrated IT and telecom solutions to markets around the world, as well as the development of innovative emerging services. Aliant recently announced the deployment of interactive TV services over traditional telephone wires - just one example of some of the exciting new services being offered.

Due to its aggressive growth agenda, Aliant is now one of the leading national high technology companies. With annual revenues of $2 billion and a market capitalization of over $4 billion, Aliant ranks in the top 100 publicly traded companies in the country.
