****P3C Manufacturing Group*****PCC Communications is an all-purpose communications company, but our passion is providing communications in remote, rural and difficult environments that are unserved or under-served by traditional communications companies.

With our extensive experience in wireless data, and two-way radio communications in the resource and industrial markets, PCC has developed capabilities and technologies like the ground-breaking, Wave6 non-line-of-sight, long-range, broadband wireless system to extend full, high-speed internet communication to areas that have traditionally been unserved or under-served by the old-school telcom companies. Wave6 has been designed, hardened, and tested for the demanding conditions of the Northern Canadian oil patch. This long-range, broad-band, non-line-of-sight technology excels in some of the toughest terrain and environmental conditions in the world.

****P3C Manufacturing Group**** Based on the rapid growth of internet protocol communications and applicatons, PCC has extended its product and service offerings to include virtually every aspect of communication, including extensive wireless and two-way network design and service, retail voice, data products and much more. As a result of this complete offering and the Wave6 system, the company is rapidly becoming a recognized global leader in serving communities and industries that are in remote and difficult areas, as well markets requiring hardened, redundant communication to support voice over IP, and mission critical systems even in areas served by traditional fiber and copper based internet solutions.

With its independently-owned fiber network in Western Canada, PCC's network services extend to well over 120,000 square kilometers and serves close to 100 municipalities. If extenisve licenses in the 700 MHz band, PCC is poised for rapid expansion of its network and has positioned itself to be the provider of choice when customers need reliable communications in rural, remote or difficult areas and for customers with mission critical data and voice requirements.

The company has over 100,000 square-feet of assembly and manufacturing space collectively in Edmonton and Calgary for provisioning systems prior to deployment.

P3C Manufacturing GroupPCC serves the Canadian commercial and industrial sectors and is rapidly expanding to provide a broad range of services and products to customers world-wide. The company also supplies consumer products and services, such as notable cellular brands, as well as rural residential high-speed internet provision.

Whether providing basic connectivity to a site through either PCC’s network or an incumbent partner network, or designing sophisticated and secure local area networks for the enterprise, PCC has years of experience in delivering high-quality, guaranteed-up-time systems. PCC works with some of the top resource companies in the world to provide customized solutions for tough communications problems.

To meet the demands of these customers, PCC builds and uses the highest performing wireless radios on the market today. If it doesn’t meet PCC's standards for reliability, the company does not use the product. Becuase we supply emergency services such as fire protection and law enforcement for municipalities, data transfer for health regions, and mission critical enterprise communicatons, PCC never compromises on quality.

In addition to being a comprehensive communications service provider and retailer, PCC Communications also has an established manufacturing component, P3C Manufacturing. Running a full sheet metal fabrication and finishing plant in Calgary, as well as an electronic assembly plant in both Edmonton and Calgary, the three locations collectively have over 100,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space. Our facilities offer superior customer service, quality control, and in-house end-to-end manufacturing solutions. As well as technical engineering resources, supply chain management and quality procedures with ISO 9001:2008 certification.
