We provide an internet connection via a wireless antenna system. The antenna is installed at your home or business with an attached radio receiver/transmitter. This antenna is pointed at our tower and must have uninterrupted line‐of‐sight. When you send and receive information over the Internet, it goes over the wireless signal from the antenna mounted at your home to our tower.
Our signal travels short distances; under 20 kms; which results in very low “latency” (or delay). Satellite signals must travel thousands of miles into space, which results in higher latency.
At the top of Calabogie Peaks.
Generally, within a 20 kms line of sight radius of Calabogie Peaks.
Severe weather, in most instances, will not impact your internet connection. Severe, heavy winds have the potential to interrupt connections if your antenna system is blown out of place. Noron Communications installs antennae with this in mind.
Data caps limit the amount of data you can use in each month. Going over your data cap, intentionally or unintentionally, generally results in increased charges on your internet bill. Once you surpass your allocated amount for the month, your internet provider will charge you based on the amount that you go over.
No. So, you don’t need to worry about any hidden fees. We keep things simple!
Complete the site survey request on our web site. We will create a profile analysis of the line-of-sight path between our tower and your location and advise you of the results.
Pretty good. The profile is based on public mapped topography. But the profiling does not always capture features at your sight that may interfere with the sight line; such as large trees or buildings near your home.
Our installer is skilled at solutions such as relocating the antenna to a higher point on your property, a site clear of trees or on the lakeside of your home near the shore. You may also install a small tower on your site.
Some of these solutions require an additional installation expense for the extra cable and labour. If this is necessary at your site, our installer will let you know, and not proceed unless you approve the solution.
Up to 100Mbs down; and 50 Mbps up. Higher levels can be achieved with a customized installation.

Calabogie Wireless scales up for growth by installing additional broadcast radios on it’s tower and increasing it’s bandwidth supply as the customer count grows. Our competitive strength is the ability to provide true high speed internet in the Calabogie community, and we will maintain this standard.
Because most users do not have large upload requirements (sending very large files or data). So, we structured the packages to reflect this, and avoid charging customers for capacity they will not use. If you need higher upload capacity; we can customize your service package.

This means that your building walls are interfering with and slowing down the wireless signal in some areas of your home. You can correct this by installing a repeater/router or a wireless mesh system. Mesh is the better of the two solutions. It involves you installing some cat6 ethernet cable that connects our Air Cube wireless router to one or more broadcast routers in your home. The best mesh routers are https://www.cnet.com/home/internet/best-mesh-wifi-routers/ There are technicians that can help you with this, including our installer.

Many internet problems can be remedied by rebooting your equipment. Please follow the three easy steps below to reboot.
- Unplug the power supply to the aircube and leave it unplugged as you proceed to the next step.
- Unplug the PoE (Power over Ethernet) adapter power supply and leave unplugged for approximately one minute before plugging back in. This will reboot the outside antenna. The adapter is a small black box between the router, a wall cable, and a power supply.
- Allow approximately three minutes after plugging the adapter back in for the antenna to regain power and signal. Then plug in the power supply. Wait an additional two minutes for the modem to connect. Look for the “INTERNET” status light to turn green, then check your connection.
