Rural and remote communities face three stubborn barriers: fiber that’s uneconomic at low population densities, high-frequency wireless that fades through trees and weather, and satellite latency routed through foreign cores that erodes sovereignty. Advanced Interactive Canada (Advintive) is built around one inventor’s refusal to compromise, that rural communities deserve city-grade internet. It treats spectrum as a first-class design constraint.
Advanced Interactive Canada’s proprietary WiDOX ports DOCSIS discipline to licensed UHF, running full duplex with frequency reuse and orthogonal polarization to effectively double capacity. The result is urban-quality, low-latency service that scales where fiber won’t pencil out, satellite can’t respond, and mobile caps choke use, while keeping infrastructure and data local.
Operating in underutilized portions of the UHF band that the ITU primarily allocates to television, WiDOX is purpose-built for near-line-of-sight conditions, shows low susceptibility to rain, snow, and vegetation, and projects very large footprints of up to 3,000 square kilometers from a single tower, without the familiar drop-off in performance at the edge of coverage. It keeps infrastructure and data control in the community, addressing rising concerns about sovereignty when connectivity depends on foreign-controlled satellite constellations.
What distinguishes the company is how precisely it answers today’s wireless realities: soaring demand for affordable rural broadband, rising equipment and energy costs, and the need for spectrum-efficient architectures. WiDOX 3.0/3.1 sectors reuse frequencies around the tower by orthogonally polarizing North–South and East–West panels, extracting capacity from licensed spectrum rather than chasing ever-higher frequencies.
WiDOX 3.1 is built for efficiency. A single UHF tower can replace roughly twenty-five S-band towers, materially cutting site count, power draw, and operating cost; its portfolio also includes MiLTE, a semi-licensed and unlicensed microwave complement for certain geographies, and published comparisons note DOCSIS-grade performance rivaling cable across distance where conventional wireless falters.
At the headend, standards-based CMTS gear, such as CASA C3200 for DOCSIS 3.0 sectors and Blonder Tongue for DOCSIS 3.1, feeds custom high-linearity power amplifiers and cavity filters, while enterprise-grade servers and redundant Cisco switching preserve uptime; an industrial UPS coordinates graceful failover and restart. Backhaul resiliency is engineered in with parallel radio links (e.g., 5.8 GHz and licensed 11 GHz) so the access layer never waits on a single path.
At the edge, cost-effective CPE bundles an outdoor WiDOX Yagi plus transceiver with an in-home cable-modem gateway that integrates Wi-Fi, a four-port gigabit router, VoIP, remote provisioning, and optional battery backup. The platform supports speed tiers up to 200 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up per household, with towers dimensioned to serve 1,000+ households. Training programs stand up local technicians for installation and support, ensuring skills transfer and sustainability instead of permanent dependence on a distant NOC.
This is not a theory. At Buffalo Lake Métis Settlement in Alberta, where homes are dispersed across nearly 400 square kilometers, Advanced Interactive Canada extended a fiber feed from the settlement office to a base-station tower, added dual point-to-point backhauls for capacity and redundancy, and deployed eight panel antennas – one transmit and one receive per sector – to light up the UHF access network. Local resident, Tim Cardinal, was trained and hired as a technician; CPE installs use Advintive-designed Yagi antennas and transceivers, with commercial-grade cable modems provisioned for QoS and remotely managed. Real-time monitoring at the base station tracks ICMP delay and packet loss, sends alerts when latency thresholds are exceeded, and performs scheduled nightly reboots to keep modems fresh.
Even off-grid households benefit: Harold Blyan’s hand-built log home, solar- and wind-powered, across a lake from the base station, now tests at ~67/23 Mbps over Wi-Fi and ~195/8 Mbps wired with ~30 ms latency, without the expense of trenching cable across kilometers of terrain. The same coverage plan supports consistent service across the settlement’s yellow-mapped area, enabling water works, the fire hall, and other community facilities to come online quickly.
Elizabeth Métis Settlement offers a complementary picture of scale and live-traffic integrity. The company completed a sectorized WiDOX installation in 11 days, reusing licensed UHF spectrum across four sectors via polarization, and instrumented the site with in-shelter diagnostics—one cable modem per sector for remote tests, plus security-camera coverage and climate control for 24/7 operations. The dual-radio backhaul spans ~15.7 km and the access side bonds multiple downstream DOCSIS channels (e.g., eight 256-QAM) with upstream channels sized at 3.2/6.4 MHz to meet return-path demand.
In production, Lighthouse Ministries Church now streams services with ultra-low latency, sustaining multi-hour upstream sessions and reaching more than 1,000 online viewers despite the local population being a fraction of that figure; measured throughput ranges around ~181/24 Mbps to the public internet and ~292/31 Mbps to the base-station server, with ping in the tens of milliseconds. Usage analytics run locally to minimize backhaul consumption, reveal typical 20 Mbps steady-state draws with bursts above 50 Mbps, and confirm packet-loss-free links under ~25 ms delay for gaming-class interactivity.
Rural communities deserve city-grade internet. I invented WiDOX to deliver itc Others just promise, but we go beyond to provide what no one else can. — Karim Lakhani, CEO
These results come from a clear way of building, not just a box of radios. The company designs for sovereignty and staying power as much as speed. Communities keep control of spectrum, equipment, data, and day-to-day operations. Pricing supports commercial-grade service without per-household subsidies. Internet, phone, and TV arrive as a dependable bundle, and redundancy across servers, switches, and backhauls keeps service steady, so weather, terrain, and distance become engineering problems instead of roadblocks.
In Buffalo Lake, Elizabeth, Saulteaux, and Moosomin, the impact is visible. Students learn at home. Elders use telehealth. Small businesses sell beyond local roads. Culture is shared live instead of after the fact.
Advanced Interactive Canada continues to be the leading Wireless Tech Solution Provider. It plans to bring WiDOX to rural and underserved regions worldwide where fiber and satellite do not make sense. The aim is straightforward: disciplined spectrum reuse, DOCSIS-grade reliability, and community-first training that closes the digital divide while keeping local autonomy intact.
