Business

Connectivity as a line item, not a capital purchase.

Projects have end dates. Internet plans do not. Rent for the length of the job, expense it, and hand it back. No install, no decommissioning, no line still billing in February.

Who we work with

Four sectors, one requirement.

Film and television

Alberta had a decade high in scouting requests this year and an uncapped provincial tax credit. Minis suit a location unit better than a full-size dish: they weigh a kilogram, run from a vehicle socket, and you can put three across a set instead of one at base camp.

Units held for the length of a shoot, not first-come-first-served
Certificate of insurance and vendor onboarding paperwork
Delivery to a location call anywhere in Calgary, or collect from us
Net 30 invoicing or Interac e-Transfer

Energy and winter access

Wellsite trailers, seismic crews, pipeline inspection and camp connectivity. Alberta winter access season runs December to March because frozen ground is what lets equipment reach muskeg sites, and that is exactly when consumer rental demand disappears. We plan inventory around it, so the units are there when you need them.

Multi-kit deployments across a programme
Monthly rates well under the published rate card
Swap-out on failure rather than a warranty conversation
Rated to -30 C, and light enough to move between sites daily

Construction and survey

Site offices before fibre gets pulled, and survey crews working well outside cell coverage. Month-to-month with no install and nothing to decommission when the job ends.

Month-to-month terms
No install, no contract
Scales up and down with the job
Several units across a yard rather than one at the gate

Events and emergency

Rural venues, ag shows, rodeos, and business continuity when a primary link goes down. Wildfire risk across the Prairies has been above normal all season and evacuations started in May, so we keep capacity back for same-day dispatch.

Same-day delivery inside Calgary
Several units for a wide site
Standby arrangements for continuity plans

How business accounts differ

Payment: Interac e-Transfer or net 30 invoicing rather than a card. We prefer e-Transfer on larger bookings because the flat fee is a fraction of card processing, and we pass that saving into the rate.
Deposit: Usually waived against a purchase order or a signed rental agreement rather than held on a card. For a first booking with a new account we may still place a hold, which is an authorization and never a charge.
Availability: Standing reservations for a season, so the units are genuinely yours for the shoot or the drilling programme rather than first-come-first-served. This is the thing that stops a production buying its own hardware.
Support: A direct number rather than a contact form, and a replacement kit dispatched on failure instead of a diagnostic conversation.
Paperwork: Certificate of insurance, W-9 equivalent, safety documentation and vendor onboarding forms — send them over and we will complete them.

Tell us the dates, the location and how many crew need to be online. We will come back with a rate and confirm availability, usually the same day.
