Now celebrating ten years of success, Globalive Communications Corp., based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has grown rapidly to become a leading provider of next generation telecommunications solutions globally. Globalive develops and delivers innovative applications and first-rate tailored telecommunications services to a wide range of clients in the consumer, enterprise and hospitality segments worldwide.
Founded in 1998 by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Anthony Lacavera, Globalive remains a privately held Canadian company. Globalive boasts a strong balance sheet to go with its track record of sustained, profitable growth and innovation.
Since inception, Globalive has been recognized as a leading Canadian corporation gaining numerous impressive awards including:
Over the course of its relatively brief history, Globalive has taken the Canadian marketplace by storm with a complete suite of telecommunications services that range from long distance services, to carrier clearinghouse solutions, to high speed internet, to mobile phone services, to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) solutions. And that is just the beginning.
The Globalive group of companies includes: Yak Communications, OneConnect Services, Freefone, Canopco, Assemble Conferencing, InterClear, Lucky Call, Canada Payphone, and Cohere Communications.
Globalive’s consumer brand, Yak Communications, is an integrated communications provider. Yak Communications is already the market leader in alternative long distance provisioning to the residential market, and has extended its suite of services to fulfill the ever-widening needs of niche markets across Canada.
With the surge in VoIP services launching throughout Canada, OneConnect plays a critical role in the enterprise market by servicing its clients with a wide range of innovative solutions. Focusing solely on small to medium size businesses, the company works with its clients to meet their specific telecommunications requirements on an affordable basis, with efficient, reliable solutions.
A respected and significant player in the hospitality telecommunications services industry, Canopco provides services to hotels, hospitals, universities and colleges ranging from billing and clearing services, to operator services, to local lines and long distance. By building strong, long-term partnerships with industry associations across the country with its unique profit sharing model, Canopco’s hospitality presence is broader than ever.
Providing free phone service to consumers, Freefone is a revolutionary public courtesy telephone and digital video advertising system. Freefone is the only provider of its kind in North America and brings consumers and advertisers together as customers are instantaneously drawn to the engaging messaging being displayed while they place their calls.
In July 2007, Globalive launched the SHAMBA Foundation; a completely unique “charity for charities” with the most comprehensive, event-based fundraising solution in Toronto.
In true Globalive style, SHAMBA has spearheaded an entirely new approach to philanthropy by offering an exceptional venue at no cost to charities - right within the company’s new headquarters. In addition to providing charities the space, SHAMBA also engages Globalive employees to volunteer for the events.
Now with over a million customers across Canada and increasing customers in global markets, Globalive continues to grow. Although focused heavily in Canada, Globalive products are currently deployed in over 30 countries, with plans to expand even further.
