Some Major Upgrades Insure That Northern Continues To Lead The Paging Industry Across Northern Ontario

Finally! A Single Phone Number Pages You Across The North
Our Sudbury and North Bay paging terminals have been networked together. This means that when somebody sends a page out to you, it will reach you whether you are in Massey, Espanola, Whitefish, Levack, Sudbury Verner, Sturgeon Falls, North Bay, Temiscaming, Mattawa or Sundridge. It’s a local call! No long distance!

Plans are under way and soon our Timmins terminal will become part of the same network Northern Communications offers you the widest area regional coverage available! No other local company national carrier, or international carrier can compete with us in the north. See the map on the back of this newsletter for our detailed coverage. If you are interested in having your pager networked, please call or drop in to your local Northern Communications office. We can network you to Toronto if you require it.

Transmitter Upgrades Approved And Ordered
Our service is only as good as our physical system (towers and transmitters), and we are pleased to announce above average upgrades this year. It has taken Northern over 35 years to build the paging networks we now enjoy Every year we improve and upgrade portions of the system. This is necessary to ensure quality and reliability This year we have planned an aggressive upgrade to coincide with our networking announcements as well as the expanded coverage announcement that follows.

Expanded Coverage Planned In Sudbury And Timmins
An additional tower site and expanded coverage are planned for the Timmins area within the next quarter. Our clients will enjoy the widest coverage available in the Timmins market (as well as the option to receive pages in the North Bay and Sudbury regions). An additional tower site and expanded coverage are planned for the Sudbury area within the next six months. We are currently polling clients as to their preferred expansion direction. Many have suggested the French River area, while many others have suggested Manitoulin Island, We would love to hear from you with your opinion.
 

NOBODY CAN MATCH OUR
REGIONAL COVERAGE!
 

Pagers! A Major Part Of The Communication World

“The number of pagers worldwide is expected to grow more than 20% annually for the remainder of the 1990’s.”Mobile Technology Magazine

“The average monthly airtime charge for numeric paging has fallen. These declining service prices have caused an increase in personal users as a percentage of new subscriber additions.” Personal Communications Journal

“The growing number of customer owned units and the increasing distribution of pagers through retail stores also demonstrates the popularity of pagers for personal use.” Personal Communications Journal

“In 1995 alphanumeric pagers increased market share to double its previous size. EMCI attributes the increase to a decrease in equipment and airtime charges and the consumer’s desire for enhanced paging services.” RCR Magazine


Just Say It!
If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?
