“Gig 2.0 is ideal for businesses working through multiple locations who utilize multiple connected technology services simultaneously, from in-store WiFi and point-of-sale systems to video conferencing tools, multiple connected workstations and cloud services,” says the release.

“Businesses are more connected today than ever before, and with more technology powering their front and backend operations, they need access to fast and reliable internet services that can keep pace with their needs,” said Katherine Emberly, president, business, Shaw Communications, in the release.

“Shaw Business’ Gig 2.0 is a game-changer — businesses of any size can now have access to speeds and capacity they need to handle today’s demands while preparing for technology of the future.”
