they need to connect their data-heavy applications and cloud
services that power their day-to-day operations.
“Businesses are more connected today than ever before, and with
more technology powering their front and backend operations, they
need access to fast and reliable internet services that can keep
pace with their needs,” said Katherine Emberly, President,
Business, Shaw Communications. "Shaw Business’ Gig 2.0 is a
game-changer — businesses of any size can now have access to speeds
and capacity they need to handle today’s demands while preparing
for technology of the future.”

simultaneously, from in-store WiFi and point-of-sale systems to
video conferencing tools, multiple connected workstations and cloud
services.
