Montreal, first Canadian city to get Wimax coverage (5)

June 14th, 2007 · by Heri · Mobile

Radioactif, an ISP (which has also web properties), and Nomad, a company specialized in wireless technologies, announced today that they will provide internet and telephony services for montrealers with wimax.

They will be targeting first the Plateau area, then will extend coverage to the greater Montreal area. This is a first for Canada: if Toronto has already city-wide wireless coverage, the city is using the “old” wifi technology. Wimax on the other hand is much more powerful, with bandwidth up to 5mbps, on longer distances. Imagine this as having an ADSL connection but without an ethernet cable, and without relying on a coffee/library’s internet connection.

Radioactif will market a voip and internet service at 30 dollars/month, which will undercut all existing internet plans avalaible in Quebec.

I love it when small players play the rebels against the giants – bell and videotron :-)
