Our Story

We were founded on maintaining and preserving essential infrastructure in Canada’s northern, remote and rural areas. These are major challenges we know very well.

Preserving
Infrastructure

Costs in northern, remote and rural areas are very high while mobile networks are inadequate or non-existent. 
These challenges are intensified when fires destroy critical infrastructure such as a school, health centre, or power plant, which can take years to recover and rebuild. We were established to overcome this.

History of Innovation

1970
In the early 1970s, shortly after the start of the family business, early innovations centered around off-grid energy efficiency, reliability and sustainability in a remote Arctic community.
2005
By 2005 we had deployed and introduced broadband Internet access to 55+ communities across the North, and over the next 15 years, we evolved into a full-service mobile carrier. 
1990
By 1990, we expanded to include Information Technology Sales and Services, with a focus on providing onsite computer and network services to other communities across the North.
2015
In 2015, we recognized a need for better energy storage for our own telecom sites, which led to SSi Energy and a focus on sustainable energy solutions. This led to our desire to find a better fire suppression solution.
