[Via Satellite 02-17-2015] Norsat International’s Sinclair Technologies division based in Aurora, Ontario, has executed a standing offer with BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS), to supply up to 16 of the company’s communications shelters (comshels). BCEHS governs the emergency medical services system in British Columbia and oversees the BC Ambulance Service.

Sinclair will install the structures over the next three years to protect communications equipment in some of the most mountainous western regions of Canada, permitting emergency personnel to service the residents of British Columbia in harsh and remote environments.
