Benefits of Skyway Managed Cable over Rogers (formerly Shaw) Cable

Upgrade your legacy Rogers (Shaw) Cable to Skyway Managed Cable, adding business-class IP and management tools.

Our Managed Cable — when combined with SD-WAN Failover, Multiple IPs per MAC Address per Port, Policy Routing and QoS — provides many of the benefits of Dedicated Fibre at a much lower cost. See the table below.

Multiple IPs per MAC Address per port allow more then one IP address to be assigned to a single device. For example, a single firewall can use 2 different IP addresses, one IP for port forwarding web traffic to Exchange Webmail and another IP for forwarding web traffic to a web server.
Direct Peering with independent ISPs and content providers (e.g., connect to Microsoft 365 and Azure in Vancouver).
Moveable IPs allows IP address transfer between sites and providers.
Availability SLA with Failover.
Free DNS Firewall powered by CIRA compares every outgoing query and response to a block list of IP addresses known for hosting malware. Blocks botnets, malware and optional content filtering.

We’d love to talk with you about all your Business Internet options. Call us at 604-482-1225.
