Regina, SK – Access Communications Co-operative announces the introduction of its most advanced Wi-Fi product to date. AccessSmart Wi-Fi+ powered by Plume HomePass provides customers with whole-home coverage, control, optimization, advanced cybersecurity, smart home protection and more.

“AccessSmart Wi-Fi+ powered by Plume HomePass is a game-changing technology for Access customers, particularly with their increased use of the internet at home,” said Carmela Haines, Chief Operating Officer for Access Communications. “We think power users will love the speed and performance optimization this system offers, while families will appreciate the parental control tools and protection. And we love the simplicity – users plug their pods into power outlets to enjoy a premium Wi-Fi service which is installed in minutes via the user-friendly app.”

“Plume is proud to enable Access Communications to deliver an unparalleled internet experience through reliable whole-home Wi-Fi, personalized parental controls, guest access, and tightly secured devices,” said Tyson Marian, Chief Commercial Officer at Plume. “Access is introducing a powerful experience-driven solution for the ever-changing needs of the smart home.”
