Genesis And WireIE Trial Attracts Canada’s Largest Carrier

Genesis and WireIE Holdings International Inc. (WireIE) have secured the collaboration of Canada’s largest national telecommunications company, Bell Canada (Bell), at the WireIE trial scheduled for October 2019.

Bell is a Canadian telecommunications company headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. It is the incumbent local exchange carrier for telephone and DSL Internet services in most of Canada east of Saskatchewan and in the northern territories. It is also a major competitive local exchange carrier for enterprise customers in the western provinces.

Bell provides high speed DSL Internet service in many areas where it offers phone service. Bell began offering Fiber-to-the-node Internet access to some subscribers in 2010. Bell markets this service under the name “Fibe”.

Many urban Fibe regions can access all speeds up to and including 50+mb/s down and 15+mbps up but some rural Fibe regions can only obtain 16 Mbit/s down and 1 Mbit/s up. Non-Fibe regions are limited to legacy DSL technology, supporting speeds of up to 7 Mbit/s down and 1 Mbit/s up.

Genesis and Bell have jointly explored several business cases where Genesis technology can greatly boost broadband capability and achieve Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) targeted speeds of at least 50 Mb/s, with a view to presenting a business case to Bell executives on the merits of deploying Genesis products.

The incumbent commercial relationship between WireIE and Bell has created the opportunity for Bell senior technologists to validate their use cases of utilizing Genesis technology within the sphere of the WireIE trial.

The WireIE trial will utilise Genesis’ Subscriber Access Node (SAN) devices at the customer site and DSL Broadband Extenders (DBEs) in the outside network, demonstrating how Genesis’ line aggregation technology can boost bandwidths over fiber and long copper circuits with a view to delivering fast broadband in underserved rural locations as well as providing gigabit superfast broadband services in cities.

“The collaboration between Genesis and WireIE is attracting much attention in the Canadian telecommunications market. Having already secured the attendance of TELUS at the WireIE trial, Bell’s attendance at the trial will expedite the commercial process between Genesis and Bell with product validation providing great impetus towards deployment of Genesis solutions in the Bell national network, said Peter Khoury, CEO at Genesis Technical Systems.

“WireIE is very protective of their reputation for delivering high quality network solutions to their existing customers, including Bell, and see the Genesis patented offering as an enhancement of the those services, particularly in new locations where alternative product availability to WireIE was non-existent.”
