Supported by a global network of gateways and user terminals, OneWeb’s global connectivity platform will provide high-bandwidth and low-latency connectivity to expand Galaxy’s existing SDWAN connectivity capabilities in and across Canada. The partnership will enable a fiber-like experience to benefit end users, offering internet access no matter where users are.
OneWeb’s partnership with Galaxy will focus on expanding bandwidth for a variety of industries such as Mining, Oil and Gas, Utilities, Construction, and Community Aggregation which will bring a range of benefits including improving corporate efficiency, health and safety requirements, asset tracking, environmental monitoring, and new operational applications, while also helping remote workers better connect with their families and loved ones back home. Utilizing the power of OneWeb’s network, Galaxy can augment its existing SDWAN of GEO satellite or Microwave connectivity by adding low latency service.

For almost three decades the company has provided reliable communications to enterprises in remote locations with limited or no connectivity, including resource-based projects, government entities, emergency responders and infrastructure projects.
Galaxy is also proud to offer a range of value-added services and solutions, including a 24/7 managed service of IT networks that includes security, monitoring and reporting, as well as network design and consulting, commercial installation, and maintenance.
