SSi Mobile launches in 22nd Nunavut market
YELLOWKNIFE – SSi Micro has received a spectrum sub-licence from Rogers to create a wider bandwidth channel for the delivery of wireless LTE data between its facilities and customer internet and mobile devices.
The company said Tuesday that the larger block of radio frequency within the 1900 MHz range, recently approved by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), means faster speeds, substantially increased capacity and wider coverage for consumers within the served communities.
“We have always been committed to providing the best possible service for our customers,” said SSi founder and CEO Jeff Philipp, in the news release. “Along with the significant investments we have made over the last few years to upgrade our northern network to the latest LTE technology, this important agreement with Rogers allows us to improve even further our broadband wireless services.”
“By investing in our network across Canada to get it 5G ready and providing Rogers spectrum to smaller carriers serving remote communities like SSi Micro, we are connecting Canadians to the moments that matter most in their lives,” added David Watt, Rogers’ SVP regulatory. “We are pleased to support SSi’s commitment to enhancing wireless services for customers in Northern Canada.”
In other company news, SSi Mobile has launched in Arviat, its 22nd wireless market in Nunavut. All 25 communities in Nunavut are scheduled to receive SSi Mobile in the coming months as service continues to roll out community by community.
