Why Canada
Canada is a modern, advanced country with a strong economy and an appetite for leading connectivity and communications solutions. It enjoys robust trade across the globe and its well-educated, high average income population seeks products and services from a wide variety of industries and nations. Canada is also ethnically diverse. English and French are its two official languages, but the people of this country speak more than 200 languages.
With 41.2 million people spread across 9.9 million square kilometers (3.9 million square miles), Canada is the second-largest country by landmass in the world. That means reliable network reach matters here more than anywhere.
