Clearfield’s solutions are an ideal fit for our customers,” said Norm Baldoni, Co-Founder of SOS. “Widespread adoption of fiber-to-the-home connectivity, expanded use of IoT applications, the rise in smart cities and buildings and emerging 5G applications are all creating opportunities that our customers aim to capitalize on.

SOS Group provides Clearfield with a dedicated team of sales, support and staff professionals providing expanded penetration into key markets across Canada.

The report also notes that Canadians have an ongoing appetite for higher bandwidth connections at their homes with approximately 26% of homes having a connection with a download speed of 50Mbps per second or more. Fiber is the clear choice for these types of high-value, higher-bandwidth services and Clearfield’s solutions can help significantly reduce the installation, management, and maintenance of the equipment required to deliver these services.
