Securing Connectivity at Pickering Nuclear
Pickering Nuclear Generating Station is a cornerstone of Canadian energy and a high-security landmark of Canadian infrastructure. Providing approximately 14% of Ontario's electricity, the facility is a massive environment where operational safety and reliable communication are non-negotiable. To maintain its status as a world-class energy hub, the station requires hardened, mission-critical connectivity that can withstand the rigors of a nuclear environment.
Linkwave provided the robust network backbone necessary for seamless site-wide communication, supporting both daily operations and the stringent public safety protocols required to power two million homes and businesses. By integrating advanced HSPA, LTE, and 5G technologies with robust Public Safety Radio, Linkwave provides the reliable infrastructure.
