Dryden Municipal Telephone System (DMTS) is a municipally owned telephone company in Dryden, Ontario, Canada. Offering local residential & business land line service within Dryden, long distance service to Dryden and surrounding area, and mobile phone services.
Dryden Mobility is the cellular division of DMTS, with three CDMA cell sites operating in the 800MHz band, covering the city and approximately 60 kilometers of the Transcanada Highway. In 2009 Dryden Mobility began conversion to a GSM network in the 850MHz band that will cover a greater area than that covered by their CDMA network, from Kenora in the west, to Sioux Lookout to the north, east to Hearst, and south to Sault Ste. Marie.[2] Dryden Mobility will continue to operate as an independent wireless carrier though roaming agreements have been established with Rogers Wireless and Fido Solutions.[3]
DMTS is also the largest internet service provider in the region, providing DSL, Dial-up, and operating the largest high-speed wireless internet network in Northwestern Ontario providing coverage to more than 1000 square kilometers around Dryden. DMTS also has a partnership with Xplornet for satellite internet service.
