SSi Canada Solves Arctic Battery Failures with Arvio Longlife Technology
The Challenge
SSi Canada, one of Northern Canada’s largest ISPs, delivers broadband connectivity to some of the most remote and coldest communities on Earth. With temperatures dropping as low as -63°C, traditional battery systems powering their transmitter sites were prone to frequent failures
—disrupting service in areas where connectivity is essential.
The Solution
In 2022, SSi Canada partnered with Arvio Technology to deploy a robust energy solution built for extreme conditions. Several Arvio Longlife batteries were installed at transmitter sites in the most challenging locations. These batteries, engineered for durability in harsh climates without the need for external heating, are continuously monitored in real time via the EJOS™ Battery Management System developed by Arvio in Melbourne, Australia.

Solution Delivered
• Arvio long-life batteries designed for extreme sub-zero conditions
• Real-time system monitoring through EJOS™
• The client reports no battery failures at the upgraded sites since installation
The Result
Since installation, SSi Canada The client reports no battery failures at upgraded sites since installation. at upgraded sites—a transformative improvement in operational reliability. The combination of rugged hardware and intelligent monitoring supports continuous system availability in some of the world’s toughest environments.
SSi continues to connect the North with confidence; proving that with the right technology, even the most remote communities can count on resilient, reliable infrastructure.
