Connect teams and communities where distance, weather, and sparse infrastructure make conventional networks difficult. SSi Canada designs, builds, operates, and supports satellite, broadband, wireless, and last-mile systems from the North.
Operating context
SSi Canada's current group offering includes SSi Defence, which markets an end-to-end Arctic field service spanning site preparation, transport, installation, communications and hybrid power integration, field maintenance and 24-hour network monitoring. The site describes shelters and power systems intended for polar-night and minus-50-degree conditions, together with local training and resupply. This extends a remote-connectivity business into an infrastructure and sustainment conversation. The military-grade and security statements are supplier claims and need to be checked against the exact contract and site requirements.
Canadian footprint
SSi Canada has a documented Canadian operating presence in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Its public organization and capability evidence should be read at that location and national scope only where the cited sources explicitly support it.
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories is the published city-level context for SSi Canada. It does not imply a street address or exact facility location.
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.
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.
Core features
Satellite, microwave and fibre integration with local access networks
Site assessment, licensing, provisioning and community-agent training
Continuous Ottawa network monitoring and maintenance coordination
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.

Questions for a first conversation
01
Which SSi Defence reference sites demonstrate winter power autonomy, remote monitoring and response times for the proposed Arctic location?
An integrated service depends on logistics, power and communications performing together; site-specific winter evidence and service levels determine operational resilience.
Original sources 6 linked records
These records support the organization, its owned capabilities and their reviewed connections. A source count is not a count of independent confirmations.
SSi Canada's public evidence establishes its current role and offering, but it does not answer every access, configuration, eligibility, maturity or buyer question needed for a first business-development conversation.
