The Inukshuk Wireless broadband network is currently available in 170 centres across Canada. Built in conjunction with Bell Canada and Rogers Communications, the Inukshuk Wireless 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 VoIP, video streaming and a variety of data applications.

Inukshuk Wireless's network provides service providers with a robust, always-on connection to the Internet. It supports the delivery of traditional Internet services such as Web browsing, e-mail and data transfer, as well as emerging ones such as Voice over IP (VoIP), and video streaming. As Inukshuk Wireless's network is based on the Internet Protocol (IP), it takes full advantage of the rapid pace at which new services are being developed.

Leading-edge Technology

Inukshuk Wireless fully understands the challenges associated with deploying line-of-sight (LOS) radio networks, and so, in conjunction with its partners, it has deployed a flexible non-LOS system. This allows the use of self-installed modems providing ease of access to broadband services, running in minutes, straight out of the box.

Nomadicity

For residential, SOHO (Small Office Home Office) and small business users, there is now the opportunity to enjoy the advantages of reliable, high-speed Internet service, which is made particularly attractive by its ease of use and the added feature of “nomadicity.” No longer limited to a physical location for the Internet connectivity, the wireless modem can be moved as readily as a laptop computer to function anywhere within the Inukshuk Wireless network footprint. It is ‘plug-and-play’, self-installed and hassle-free!

Connecting Rural Canadians

Through the use of leading-edge wireless broadband technology, coupled with state-of-the-art network infrastructure, Inukshuk Wireless is bringing broadband wireless Internet access to communities previously considered too rural or remote for conventional wired technologies. With a growing deployment of rural and remote communities, Inukshuk Wireless is facilitating access to bandwidth intensive multimedia content and services that were otherwise unattainable through dial-up connections.
