About Us

Who We Are

Countryside Communications is a locally owned provider of internet, networking, and small-business IT services for homes, farms, and rural enterprises. We design, install, and support practical connectivity solutions—from whole-home Wi-Fi and wireless bridges to camera systems, signal boosters, and multi-building networks—so our customers can work, learn, and live better anywhere.

Our Owners: Doug & Wendy

Doug and Wendy built Countryside Communications on a simple promise: reliable service, honest advice, and neighbourly support.

• Doug leads technical operations and field installations. He’s hands-on with site surveys, network design, and ensuring every install is safe, tidy, and optimized for real-world conditions.

• Wendy oversees client experience and business administration. She’s your point of contact for quotes, scheduling, and making sure every project finishes on time and on budget.

Together, Doug and Wendy combine practical know-how with friendly service—treating every customer like a neighbour and every project like it’s for their own property.

What We Do

• Home & Farm Connectivity: Whole-home Wi-Fi, mesh systems, wireless links between buildings, and signal boosting for weak cellular areas.

• Small-Business Networking: Routers, switches, guest networks, POS connectivity.

• Surveillance & Monitoring: Smart camera systems (fixed and PTZ), solar and off-grid options, and mobile viewing apps.

• TV & Media Setup: Android TV boxes, streaming setups, clean cable runs, and equipment mounting.

• Troubleshooting & Upgrades: Network audits, performance tuning, and tidy-ups of messy cabling or legacy gear.

How We Work

1. Listen & Survey: We learn your site, goals, and pain points—then (if needed) perform a signal and layout survey.

2. Propose: You get a clear, itemized quote with options (good/better/best) to fit budget and performance needs.

3. Install: Professional, code-conscious installs with neat cabling and labelled gear.

4. Optimize & Train: We test coverage, set app access, and show you how everything works.

5. Support: Friendly after-care and fast responses when you need a hand.
