Description:

Inukshuk Wireless an equally owned joint venture between Bell Canada and Rogers Communications to build and manage a Canada-wide wireless broadband network licensed by Industry Canada.

The network footprint will cover over 45 cities and approximately 100 unserved rural and remote
communities across Canada by the end of 2008.

The initial phase of the wireless broadband network, available in 20 centres across Canada, will be built in conjunction with
Bell Canada and Rogers Communications.

Based on pre-WiMAX standards, subscribers will be able to access the Internet
and other applications such as voice over internet protocol (VoIP), video
streaming and a variety of data applications. The total investment of the
partnership between Bell and Rogers is expected to reach $200 million by 2008
covering over 100 urban and rural areas.

The initial phase of the network covers over 5 million households and 40%
of the population and is now available in 20 areas across Canada including
Greater Vancouver Area, Victoria, Red Deer, Calgary, Edmonton, Whitehorse,
Greater Toronto Area, Barrie, London, Windsor, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton,
Ottawa, Gatineau-Hull, Quebec City, Greater Montreal Area, Charlottetown,
Halifax, Fredericton, and St. John's.

The network leverages existing cellular towers of both Bell and Rogers,
wirelessly connecting customers to the Internet and providing secure data
transmission over licensed spectrum. The new technology is also being deployed
in the United States and Mexico and Inukshuk expects Canadian users to have
access to an extensive North American broadband footprint in the future.
