OmniGlobe Networks and Naskapi Imuun are partners in a communications enterprise that delivers IP-based cellular services over satellite to remote communities.
This enterprise is distinguished by its innovative revenue-sharing business models, leading-edge satellite network management technology and cost-effective use of resources.
OGN and NI, in collaboration with the worldleading provider of cellular equipment suitable for a satellite environment, Saskatchewan Communications Network (a satellite broadband Internet provider), and the National Research Council, has developed a low cost cellular via satellite technical solution that is ideally suited for deployment in remote, rural communities and meets all of the technical, price and scalability requirements of small remote communities. An operational network deploying this cellular solution in the Kawawachikamach / Schefferville region will be completed within the next three months.
OGN is a Montreal based company that provides end to end broadband Internet access solutions to subscribers using innovative combinations of satellite and terrestrial wireless technologies together with its own patent pending solutions. Its engineers are leaders in cellular communications systems, satellite communication and protocols and wireless network technologies, having contributed heavily to both research and standards in these fields.
NI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach, located in the subarctic region of northern Québec. NI primarily provides internet and VoIP services to five communities in the Kawawachikamach/Schefferville region and will shortly be introducing there videoconferencing services, and importantly cellular services via satellite.
