I was just curious who manufactures Fido's equipment in their cell sites? I
heard it's Nokia is that true? When I worked on their cell sites as an
installer/electrician I did not see anything labeled as from being by Nokia.
Any technical guru who knows Fido's ins and outs know anything about this?
Just curious.........

A long long time ago, it was Ericsson in the east and Nortel in the west. Not
sure what the current status is.

Also not sure why there would be such a split, especially when you consider
the order cities were rolled out. (Montreal then Vancouver then toronto).

Mostly Nortel is used, upgrading from Ericsson in allot of other areas.
