Next-Generation IP Wireless Network Completed in 20 Centres Across Canada

    MONTREAL,March 31 2006 --- 
Inukshuk Wireless Inc. today announced
the completion of the initial phase of its new wireless broadband network,
with service available in 20 centres across Canada. Built in conjunction with
Bell Canada and Rogers Communications, the Inukshuk network is one of the
largest of its kind in the world.
    This next generation IP wireless network based on pre-WiMAX standards
enables portable megabit services, allowing subscribers to access the Internet
and other applications such as voice over internet protocol (VoIP), video
streaming and a variety of data applications. The total investment of the
partnership between Bell and Rogers is expected to reach $200 million by 2008
covering over 100 urban and rural areas.
    The initial phase of the network covers over 5 million households and 40%
of the population and is now available in 20 areas across Canada including
Greater Vancouver Area, Victoria, Red Deer, Calgary, Edmonton, Whitehorse,
Greater Toronto Area, Barrie, London, Windsor, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton,
Ottawa, Gatineau-Hull, Quebec City, Greater Montreal Area, Charlottetown,
Halifax, Fredericton, and St. John's.
    The network leverages existing cellular towers of both Bell and Rogers,
wirelessly connecting customers to the Internet and providing secure data
transmission over licensed spectrum. The new technology is also being deployed
in the United States and Mexico and Inukshuk expects Canadian users to have
access to an extensive North American broadband footprint in the future.
