DALLAS-The Toronto-based subsidiaries of Paging Network Inc. and PageMart Inc., both headquartered in Dallas, started offering paging services in Canada.
PageNet said this is its first entrance into a market outside the United States and its territories, the company said.
PageNet Canada uses nationwide spectrum and a wireless digital transmission system owned by Madison Telecommunications Inc., which is jointly owned by PageNet and Madison Venture Corp.
PageMart Canada Ltd. plans to start service in Montreal and Vancouver shortly. By year-end 1997, coverage should reach more than 70 percent of Canada’s population, said the company.
When PageNet’s transmission system is complete, it also will cover about 70 percent of the Canadian population.
