Colubris Networks, which provided the Wi-Fi equipment for Whistler’s Yodel service, noted the first phase of the network has been deployed in 11 locations throughout the main Village of Whistler covering approximately 50 percent of all guest accommodations, including a number of sites that will be part of the resort’s 2010 Winter Olympic offices.
