Bell AI Fabric: Bell AI Fabric Kamloops

Bell AI Fabric Kamloops is Bell Canada’s first AI Fabric data center in Kamloops, British Columbia, built for sovereign AI inference, high-performance AI workloads, large language models, and Canadian-hosted enterprise AI services. The facility launches the first phase of Bell’s national AI Fabric platform and operates in partnership with Groq, using Groq LPU infrastructure for AI inference. Bell AI Fabric combines data centers, high-performance compute, managed AI services, security, and Bell’s Canadian fiber network to support organizations that need data residency, sovereign infrastructure, and production AI performance inside Canada. Bell identifies Kamloops as the starting point for a British Columbia AI data center supercluster that begins with 7 MW of AI inference capacity and expands into additional hydro-powered facilities across the province.

The Kamloops facility is purpose-built for AI inference workloads and forms the first live Bell AI Fabric node. Public launch materials identify the site as a 7 MW AI inference facility powered by Groq’s LPU systems, which are designed for low-latency inference across large language model workloads. Bell’s AI Fabric services pair this infrastructure with sovereign data center capacity, AI infrastructure partners, managed services, network connectivity, and security services. The platform is positioned for enterprises, researchers, and public-sector organizations deploying Canadian-hosted AI models, AI applications, inference workloads, and full-stack AI infrastructure.

Kamloops anchors the first phase of Bell AI Fabric because of its access to hydroelectric power, regional connectivity, favorable climate profile, and broader British Columbia data center expansion plan. Bell’s public AI Fabric roadmap includes two 7 MW AI facilities, including the first Kamloops node and a Merritt facility, plus additional 26 MW Kamloops facilities tied to Thompson Rivers University and other large-scale AI data centers in advanced planning. The Kamloops AI Fabric location connects Bell Canada, Groq, British Columbia, Kamloops, Bell’s national fiber network, and Canadian sovereign AI infrastructure into a single AI compute platform for inference-heavy workloads and regulated data environments.
