Agenda (available here)

The conference will start with Lunch on Wednesday and end with Lunch on Friday.

Showcase: Gigabit Wireless - Ever wondered how to deliver 250Mbps+ services in a Point-To-Multipoint implementation.  Several vendors will each highlight an installed network doing just that.

EOS & Metrics - If you’re not keeping score you’re just practicing. Every business needs a few key metrics to really tell them how they’re performing. Having a healthy scorecard and really focusing on that is one key component of the Entrepreneurial Operating System, or EOS. There are many systems and frameworks you can use to run your business – Wisper has used EOS since 2009. In this session, we will cover EOS & focus on important scorecard metrics to better understand how your WISP is performing.

Targeting Remote Communities - Profitably Expanding Your Addressable Market - Telesat Lightspeed is a game changer for ISPs looking to profitably expand their market and serve remote communities. Telesat Lightspeed, an enterprise-class backhaul solution with multiple-Gbps data links, is an affordable alternative to fibre and allows ISPs to build out networks in remote and under-served areas without any reliance on traditional carriers’ networks. Discover how ISPs can leverage government-subsidized Telesat Lightspeed capacity pools to connect unserved and underserved communities in Canada.

Fibre 101 - You've built out your fixed wireless network and would like to start on a fibre network.  Dave Clelland (MBSI WAV) and Bayan Deanparvar (WAV) will walk you through the basics, answer your questions and more.

Grounding - Do you do it well?  What could you do better?  How can you test your installed equipment?  Andy Moss (Alliance Corp.) will lead us through this session.  

A Disruptive, Open-Architecture Solution (OpenPON) That is Transforming How Fiber is Delivered, Presented by Comtrend.  

In this session, we will introduce Canadian WISPs to a new Open Access architecture approach (OpenPON). Many Providers aren’t aware that there is an alternative Fiber Broadband deployment option that does not use a chassis-based Access architecture. It is a compelling lower-cost, scalable, and flexible Last Mile solution for Providers.

This open architecture ecosystem technology is being evangelized and implemented by many different Providers including larger service providers such as AT&T, Charter, and Liberty Global. Comtrend is one of several companies supporting OpenPON. Recently, this was presented on a panel at WISPApalooza 2023 in Las Vegas. You won’t want to miss this in-depth discussion!
