Local Representative Key to Connect Community

Mike Jaypoody has been the QINIQ Community Service Provider in Clyde River, Nunavut, from day one, since the launch of QINIQ in 2005. He knows first hand how important the QINIQ Internet service is for an isolated community, how it makes it possible for family members to stay in touch when some are far away, and how it simply provides the residents of Clyde River much needed access to the outside world.

Building 4G in the Arctic

Brian Berry is a Satellite Communications Specialist with SSi Canada and has certainly seen his share of travel to Nunavut, having visited every community many times over the past several years to perform maintenance and system upgrades to the QINIQ network. Brian is proud to be part of the team that delivers affordable high-speed Internet to these remote Arctic communities. In February, 2017, Brian was in Clyde River, about 3000 kilometres north of his home in Ottawa, installing new equipment to support QINIQ’s latest upgrade to 4G-LTE and GSM technology, which means new wireless voice and data services just like in southern Canada.

Broadband Essential for Community Wellness Organization

Ilisaqsivik is a locally run organization in Clyde River, Nunavut, with a mission to promote community holistic wellness through a variety of programs. These include counseling, pre-school, Inuktitut literacy, youth activities and land-based cultural and healing programs. As Executive Director, Jakob Gearheard knows the critical importance of broadband in a remote community that has no bank or government office. Without broadband, online financial management would not be possible, and vital funding proposals and reports would not get submitted on time. Without broadband, an essential organization like Ilisaqsivik could not survive.
