Patrick McHugh, President of TradeWinds, which will market the new sites to carriers, believes the growth and future success of wireless communications services and technologies for both consumer and business users will be directly linked to the ability of carriers to expand their transmission networks and spectrum and deliver access virtually anywhere their customers want it. GlobalNet Canada will be focusing on locating new wireless antenna sites that involve existing business, commercial and municipal properties. He noted that municipal and provincial governments across Canada have the ability to earn new and relatively substantial revenues from their water towers, industrial parks, buildings, educational facilities, libraries, fire stations, water treatment facilities, landfills, parks and numerous utility assets as valuable sites for wireless antennas.
Property owners have no cost to bear in participating in the program.
Many of the new antenna installations being considered by TradeWinds and GlobalNET Canada will incorporate antenna that is literally concealed from public view or attached in a low profile manner but at the same time provides high level transmission capabilities. They will meet all current regulatory and municipal requirements. Most carriers today are constantly searching for new wireless antenna locations to improve their network spectrum, particularly to improve the quality and reliability of their transmission signals for users of cellular phones and other wireless devices. Increased application of wireless communications technology for Internet and computer applications will dramatically impact the growth of wireless networks. Wireless transmission equipment can now be concealed in flat panels or aesthetically pleasing add-ons to architectural facades and rooftops of office buildings and shopping malls, signage and billboards, in flagpoles, church steeples and bell towers, road signs, silos, on water towers and hundreds of other remarkable applications.
