From Spectrum to Service: Making the Most of ISED’s Indigenous Priority Window
Join us on October 7 for a webinar featuring Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) and YRH Engineering, where we will explore the Indigenous Priority Window (IPW) from both a regulatory and practical implementation perspective.
Attendees will receive the latest information directly from ISED’s IPW team, including key dates, application requirements, and regulatory considerations. The session will also examine how spectrum access can be transformed into real-world connectivity solutions, with practical examples of rural and remote deployments. Topics will include cellular and fixed wireless network design, common implementation and operational challenges, and high-level cost considerations.
Designed for Indigenous communities, service providers, and project partners, this webinar goes beyond policy to discuss the realities of planning, delivering, and sustaining connectivity projects in underserved areas. A live Q&A session will provide an opportunity to explore the broader business and operational challenges associated with long-term service delivery in rural and remote environments.
When Fibre Isn't an Option: Multi-Gigabit Free-Space Optical Solutions for Service Providers
Fibre deployment isn't always feasible. Whether you're facing prohibitive construction costs, right-of-way challenges, or need rapid deployment, free-space optical (FSO) technology is emerging as a carrier-grade alternative for multi-gigabit connectivity.
This webinar explores real-world FSO applications, including last-mile access, enterprise connectivity, tower backhaul, fibre backup, and rapid deployment scenarios. Hear from Attochron about how they have overcome the challenges that have plagued previous FSO solutions, plus insights from Tom Barnett, Lumen Technology's Director of Strategic Innovations, about their field testing in challenging conditions and the criteria they used to validate FSO for commercial deployment.
You'll learn how FSO:
- complements fibre by extending the optical footprint, wirelessly
- complements radio (RF) by enabling 5G cell site and FWA tower locations, supporting the necessary performance requirements
- connects where others can't due to environmental, cost, spectrum, data rate, or permitting constraints.
- and more.
