SSi designs and operates remote communications networks using satellite, microwave and fibre backbones with local broadband and wireless access. Its offer spans site and radio planning, licensing, integration, provisioning software and community-agent training, backed by a continuously staffed Ottawa network operations centre. CRTC’s June 2025 decision documents a funded Nunavut satellite-capacity project, with performance and reporting conditions rather than proof of completion.

Northern Operations
Use & integration
Recorded applications
Remote-community connectivity
Northern operational communications
Remote infrastructure deployment and maintenance
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
SSi operates existing northern networks. CRTC approved the statement of work for capacity serving 25 Nunavut communities; the inspected decision alone does not confirm fulfilment of its subsequent speed and reporting milestones.
Commercial availability
Commercial network design and operating services are offered. Site access, power, backhaul capacity and any security accreditation must be confirmed for the customer’s location and use.
Integration and verification
Readiness
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
Remote-area network design and operation can provide the communications backbone needed to move sensor, operational, and coordination data across northern environments.
SSi Canada designs, builds, operates, and supports communications networks where distance and sparse infrastructure make connectivity difficult. Those networks can keep remote teams, logistics nodes, and support services connected across northern operations.
This is a reviewed public-source assessment. It is not procurement eligibility, endorsement, customer interest, or classified demand.
