Galaxy Broadband, Spectrum Telecom link up in northern Ontario

Galaxy Broadband has announced that Spectrum Telecom will represent the enterprise telecommunications provider in northern Ontario.

Spectrum has a network of offices in Sudbury, Kenora, North Bay, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Timmins, and is a leading wireless service provider in the region.

Galaxy specializes in satellite Internet solutions for resource, construction and government sectors that operate in remote locations.

“With [Galaxy’s] extensive history servicing federal, provincial and resource-based industries … we recognized the essential need to offer this enterprise service and offer redundancy applications to ensure our customers are prepared in case of system failures or emergencies,” Spectrum president and CEO Geoffrey Hatton said.

The partnership comes in response to demand in the region for reliable satellite Internet connectivity, Galaxy said in a release. Spectrum was a natural fit, as it has experience serving clients in the region, and offers 24-hour technical support.

Galaxy Broadband is headquartered in Mississauga, Ont., and has offices in Edmonton and Calgary, Alta.; Prince George, B.C.; and Midland, Texas.
