Technology deployed in Bella Bella B.C Canada (2005)
• Remote Areas
• 350 miles north of major city center
• E – Education Classroom
• Initial installation 2005
Advanced Interactive Joint Ventured with M.I.K to form Rural First Broadband Inc.
“To Connect & Protect”
Advanced Interactive Inc. engineers solutions that increase access speeds to the Internet in remote communities such as:
Alaska, American Samoa, northern Canada, Hawaii, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Tahiti, Tonga, Uganda, etc.

• International Presence• Over 55 Years in Business
• 690 Employees• Over 600,000 sq/ft of facilities
worldwide
Applications to Industry Canada were procured, equipment was purchased, programmed and mounted on an existing broadcast tower in a rural community called Whitecourt, Alberta.
Proof of Concept using UHF
We took our knowledge base from the cable plant and applied it to wireless.
Initially we were astonished to find that the footprint of coverage to be a 50km radius or ~8000 Sq/Km.
Residential Viability
After proof of concept the organic migration of live customers on system was achieved.
The first system took 4 years of residential installs and thousands of hours of tweaking and fine tuning to fully understand the abilities & Limitations of the 'White Space' Technology.
This gave rise to the second system servicing Grande Prairie, Alberta and its surrounding areas.

-Lower frequency allows for greater signal penetration through foliage.
-Higher frequency are blocked and/or has difficulty penetrating through foliage.
-Near Line of Sight allows signal to “Bend” around hills and valleys.
-Line of Sight requires a non obstructed path between transmission and receive antennas for connectivity.
-Competitors cannot cause interference on licensed allocated frequency.
-Non licensed frequency transmission by many carriers cause interference resulting in non reliable service
