NORTH BAY, Ont. – The first annual Canadian Rural and Remote Broadband Conference, announced here last week, has signed on a founding sponsor.
Conference organizer Amedeo Bernardi announced that vendor Calix has come on board.
“We are excited to support Amedeo and be a founding sponsor of the first annual Canadian Rural and Remote Broadband Conference,” said Alan Lieff, vice president, Americas International for Calix.
“Rural broadband is an established passion of ours, and supporting this conference is just another way we are working to bridge the digital divide. Calix has helped connect more than 150 previously underserved communities in North America by partnering with nontraditional service providers such as Municipalities and Electric Utilities as they step up to ensure their communities will not be left behind.
“We applaud Amedeo and his mission to see to it that all Canadians have access to broadband, regardless of their proximity to a major city. Calix has seen so many successful Municipal networks and the benefits they bring to their residents that we are excited to share our experience with attendees of this conference,” he added.
