NanoFibre Networks Inc.
Having owned vacation property in Windermere since the late 90’s, Mark Halwa, president of Nanofibre Networks Inc., was constantly looking for a way to utilize his IT background to make a living in the Columbia Valley. It took three years to find that opportunity because the infrastructure (broadband) didn’t exist. When the Village of Radium Hot Springs was pondering whether they should build a fibre optic network, or wait for someone else to do it, Mark and his partners jumped at the opportunity and now several years later Radium has a fully operational fibre optic network to connect virtually every building. NanoFibre has now extended their network to include many areas within Invermere, Fairmont and Golden. NanoFibre is one of the fastest, most robust fibre optic networks in all of North America. Its 100% pure fibre network can deliver much faster Internet, full featured telephone service and unbelievable video quality to homes and businesses throughout the Columbia Valley. The network is already attracting new residents. Halwa has been receiving calls from people who are looking to combine a rural, mountain lifestyle with first-class communication capabilities, and Radium Hot Springs and area offers the very best of both worlds. www.nanofibre.ca “Although I have worked in downtown Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary, the most significant opportunity of my career has come from Radium Hot Springs and surrounding area. It has been a dream job and led to a very advanced network in a small mountain community. Proof that opportunity exists in the Kootenays!”
