About
BAI Canada described itself on the TechTO stage in January 2015 as "a bit of a tech startup within a pension fund" — the pension fund being CPPIB, which owned parent BAI Communications. The same group built the wireless networks in the New York and Hong Kong subways. The Toronto contract ran to the 2030s, but in April 2023 Rogers acquired BAI Canada and took over the TTC network, committing to replace the legacy 3G/4G build with 5G and 911 access across the whole system. The company no longer operates independently; its transit business now sits inside Rogers, while the rest of BAI Communications rebranded as Boldyn Networks in 2023.
Backers
