Accel Networks Expands Fixed Wireless Broadband Service Area Into Canada
Edmonton, Canada, July 15, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Accel Networks ("Accel") announced today the expansion of its network coverage area across Canada. Through its relationship with TELUS, this expansion gives Accel the broadest fixed cellular broadband network in North America. Canadian customers can now take advantage of Accel's leading edge proprietary antenna technology and monitoring platforms which provides Accel's customers in the United States quality of service which is unmatched by any other wireless provider. Accel has already begun rolling out locations for existing U.S. customers that also have locations in Canada, but plans to establish a Canadianbased reseller network will make Accel's services more readily available to all broadband users in the country by the end of 2010.
"There's a tremendous need for the fixed wireless broadband services we provide all across Canada," commented Mark Gianinni, CEO of Accel Networks. "We're very pleased to have TELUS as our partner in Canada. They have worked diligently with us to test and certify our technology for use in their network and thanks to these efforts, businesses will now have the ability to utilize fixed cellular broadband using our proprietary technology."
Accel provides the broadest coverage and highest data rates of any wireless provider. Its proprietary, multi-carrier solution synthesizes diverse wireless carrier characteristics into a common customer experience. Many of the locations across Canada—particularly those in rural areas—are limited in their access to traditional terrestrial network broadband service such as DSL or frame relay. "The availability of Accel's technology will open new, cost-effective broadband options to businesses who might otherwise have had limited or no broadband service options," said Sean McMurray, Senior Account Manager, TELUS Business Solutions.
