Fiber.CA was incorporated in 2005 by Ron Dallmeier and Mike Gobeil. Both founders are entrepreneurs, having created and grown other successful technology companies. Both are adept at finding solutions to challenging problems.

Mike (mike@fiber.ca) has many years of experience in telecom infrastructure, mechanical/electrical/computational systems as well as retail. He also owns SOS Systems, Eliminator Services and Eliminator RC. Mike likes to make things go fast.

Ron (ron@fiber.ca) has been involved with networking & technology in Education ever since he graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1987. He has been working to deliver Internet services since 1992. From ’95 to ’99, Ron managed MBnet (a major Internet gateway for Manitoba). From 2000 and on, Ron has been consulting for many organizations and service providers, world-wide. Ron has been actively involved in Research and Education (R&E) Networks, where early technologies are tested. Some technologies do not survive (remember ATM?), but others such as Wave-Division-Multiplexing have a long future. R&E networks, with their ultra-fast burst capacity, are influencing innovative business models like Google’s Fiber-To-The-Home. Ron has advised many service providers and established relationships with vendors and distributors that provided high-quality/cost-effective products for networking (wired, wireless, VoIP, video, compute and storage).
