In July 2000, Cisco Systems issued a statement of direction that reflects the excitement in broadband wireless communications:
    "Current access mediums such as enhanced copper, cable, and fiber competently serve only a portion of the available market and, with the exception of fiber, provide insufficient symmetrical bandwidth to meet the multi-megabit needs of the current broadband fixed market - much less allow for future data speeds. A broadband fixed wireless network presents the single best medium for delivering these services reliably, cost effectively and profitably."
    -Cisco Systems Statement of Direction, 3rd July 2000

ShockWare, being an industry leader with past experience in the Wireless industry had configured a complete education Wireless WAN project encompassing over twenty (20) buildings covering over one hundred thirty (130) square kilometers that serviced over a thousand computer systems. The Conference Board of Canada rated this project as one of the top Information Technology Projects in Canada. Today ShockWare is now consistently providing high-speed broadband Internet service.

Why Wireless?

In two words, No Wire! By removing the cabling and connections of a complex phone or cable network, ShockWare consistently offers extreme reliability as an end-to-end service without another company in the middle. The other advantages include:



Fast turn-around time. Installation orders are often completed within days, not weeks or months, as can happen with other services.



Coverage. We can provide service to most of the city, including remote areas like Dunmore and the Redcliff Light Industrial. If you can see the CBC tower above Veinerville or the Saamis Teepee, and are within a ten mile radius, we will most likely be able to provide you with high-speed service.



Stronger performance. ShockWare's preliminary tests have shown higher download and upload speeds as compared to other high-speed providers within our industry. With symmetrical bandwidth in both directions, upload speeds are typically faster than other broadband technologies, at comparable prices.


ShockWare's service and support. Our highly skilled staff prides itself in customer satisfaction. We find that our customers remain with us due to our honest and reliable customer service.
