Genwave Technologies Acquires GWI Telecom

Genwave Technologies announces today the acquisition of GWI Telecom, the professional installation, testing and wireless services division of Mississauga, Ontario based Gap Wireless. Since its inception in 2009, GWI Telecom has become a leading provider of installation and test services for mobile network deployments of Tower, Rooftop, Small Cell, DAS and other leading-edge wireless technologies. 

“This transaction is a perfect fit for both parties,” says Rob Graham, president of Genwave Technologies. “With the addition of the GWI Telecom team, we are adding a great group of professional technicians and project managers, bolstering our existing DAS, Macro and RF Engineering solutions. The combined team will provide the scale needed to deliver the dramatically increasing requirements of our customers as they deploy 5G, Public Safety, Private Radio Systems & IoT solutions across Canada.” 

Gap Wireless will continue to focus on their core market of wireless network infrastructure hardware and test & measurement instrument distribution. “It should be a seamless transition for GWI Telecom’s customers and partners,” remarked Marc Bouvrette, president at Gap Wireless. “We have been working with Genwave Technologies for many years and look forward to further collaboration with them on their continuing hardware needs for DAS and macro site deployments.”
