Who we are
Our mission: to connect everyone, everywhere to their world.
Terrestar Solutions was founded in 2008 by the creators of Fido (Microcell) who turned the dream of democratizing Canadian wireless into an everyday reality.
Then, backed by a seasoned leadership team, they broadened their horizons and began charting the future of Canadian telecommunications with the launch of Strigo in 2020.
Thanks to our Strigo Mobile Satellite Internet service, you’re finally free to step confidently into the wilderness, secure in the knowledge that you’ll be connected to your family, your business, your life, your world.
Today, at Terrestar, we’re developing revolutionary new technologies to enable seamless direct-to-mobile satellite communications for everyday devices and the IoT.
More than ever, thanks to our open network technology, we’re ready to work hand in hand with leading mobile network operators and committed partners to extend ground networks and bring connectivity to life.
To support the vision of “everywhere in Canada” Terrestar acquired:
A geostationary satellite asset (Echostar T1)
Canadian mobile satellite licences in the 2 GHz frequency band
Canadian satellite ground network infrastructure
