Effective May 1, 2019, Corridor Communications Inc. ("CCI Wireless") closed its strategic acquisition of WiBand Communications Corp., as a result of which CCI Wireless is now Canada's second-largest wireless internet service provider.

CCI Wireless specializes in fixed-point wireless connections for rural and remote Alberta. WiBand is one of the largest commercial wireless internet and data solutions providers in Western Canada. WiBand's network assets provide the ability for CCI Wireless to bring its residential offerings to WiBand's coverage footprint, positioning the company as the preferred choice for high quality broadband connections in Western Canada.

Gowling WLG advised CCI Wireless in this acquisition with a team that included Steve Will, Melanie Condic and Christina Grimes (corporate/M&A); Sunil Joneja (banking); and Laura Gheorghiu (tax); assisted by student-at-law Simanpreet Panaych.
