VANCOUVER – SSi Micro has tapped networking infrastructure provider D-Link as the supplier of the first Internet gateway on Nunavut’s new 4G network.
The D-Link DWR-922 4G-LTE Wireless Gateway delivers broadband services for homes and businesses, connecting seamlessly to SSi’s new QINIQ 4G service in Nunavut, along with built in WiFi capabilities, reads Thursday’s news release.
The new 4G network was first launched in nine Nunavut communities in April, and SSi said that it will help to bridge the digital divide between the North and the south of Canada by enabling new products and services, such as 4G residential and business Internet.
“SSi is very pleased with the D-Link 4G/LTE Wireless Gateway, and I know our customers will love it”, said SSi founder and CEO Jeff Philipp, in the release. “It’s an exciting time for us. QINIQ has graduated to a whole new level of connectivity, and we are delighted to have the strength of D-Link’s global and popular brand for our first residential gateway product. ”
“We are very proud that SSi has chosen D-Link to be part of this very exciting initiative”, added D-Link Canada president Lou Reda. “Our company mission is to help keep all Canadians connected and this project goes a long way in doing that. As the Canadian leader in home networking, we work hard to develop the right products for the Canadian market and we feel this is a great example of that in action."
