Next-Generation IP Wireless Network Completed in 20 Centres Across Canada
MONTREAL, March 31 - Inukshuk Wireless Inc. today announced the completion of
the initial phase of its new wireless broadband network, with service available
in 20 centres across Canada. Built in conjunction with Bell Canada and Rogers
Communications, the Inukshuk network is one of the largest of its kind in the
world.
This next generation IP wireless network based on pre-WiMAX standards enables
portable megabit services, allowing subscribers to access the Internet and other
applications such as voice over internet protocol (VoIP), video streaming and
a variety of data applications. The total investment of the partnership between
Bell and Rogers is expected to reach $200 million by 2008 covering over 100 urban
and rural areas.
The initial phase of the network covers over 5 million households and 40% of
the population and is now available in 20 areas across Canada including Greater
Vancouver Area, Victoria, Red Deer, Calgary, Edmonton, Whitehorse, Greater Toronto
Area, Barrie, London, Windsor, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, Ottawa, Gatineau-Hull,
Quebec City, Greater Montreal Area, Charlottetown, Halifax, Fredericton, and St.
John's.
The network leverages existing cellular towers of both Bell and Rogers, wirelessly
connecting customers to the Internet and providing secure data transmission over
licensed spectrum. The new technology is also being deployed in the United States
and Mexico and Inukshuk expects Canadian users to have access to an extensive
North American broadband footprint in the future.
