Renfrew NET turns on real high-speed Internet services using the JetStreamâ Wireless Service from Storm Internet Services.Alan Brown of
Renfrew NET announced today that the connections have been made and the new high-speed service is up and running."We are very pleased that all the installations are complete and Renfrew is now connected to the rest of the world thought this very high-speed link. This will allow Renfrew to join the high-speed communication era". Alan was quoted as saying. " We are trying hard to make Renfrew an ideal community for telecommuters. We are confident that when high-tech firms like Nortel, Mitel, Newbridge, Nokia, and others realize that we can provide 2Mb & 5Mb service, so that their employees can telecommute from here, without the tremendous cost of a T-1 hookup, we will have some new people in town".
Herb Hartwig, President of Storm stated that " We are pleased that all the testing went well and we are thrilled to be fully operational and on target. This project lets us demonstrate what our wireless technology can really do in bringing high-speed Internet service to outlying communities. We made a huge investment in wireless over a year ago because we recognized that need and, from our investors’ point of view, the market was there. Judging from the amount of calls we have received from other communities we are dead right ".
Dan Lajeunesse, President of CDS/PROMETHEUS who handled the negotiations and installation said "Since the original contract was signed and announced we have had a flood of calls from other outlying communities who want high-speed and they want it NOW. We are working as fast as we can to get it to them. We chose to go with a Pakenham to Burnstown corridor so that we would be able to offer service in Arnprior and Almonte very shortly.
