Hunter Communications

Hunter Communications is a satellite provider that has a solid track record in the industry. CBC/Radio-Canada received a number of strong submissions, but Hunter’s proposal was the most innovative, unique and financially competitive. Already, during the ongoing migration of our satellite system, we can see the foundation for a dynamic partnership between CBC/Radio- Canada and their associates.

Hunter’s primary focus is on understanding the inefficiencies in the satellite capacity and teleport services markets and exploiting those inefficiencies for the benefit of its clients. On a daily basis, all team members are negotiating, analyzing and searching for capacity opportunities that may give Hunter’s clients an advantage in the marketplace. For this reason, it is not just the smaller sized firms, but also many of the industry’s largest, who find advantage in using the resources of Hunter.

At its core, Hunter is a firm that provides engineering services, commercial negotiation expertise and legal support for the procurement of satellite capacity and teleport facilities. Firms in the industry use satellite capacity as a critical component of their service platforms, and quite often it is their largest cost component. However, many small to mid-size firms do not engage in capacity negotiations often enough on an ongoing basis, which puts them at a disadvantage. Because all competitive processes are cost-sensitive and deals can be won or lost on a single percentage point, it is critical for these firms to have the latest industry knowledge and technical expertise available to effectively compete – Hunter fills that role for many of these firms. Hunter provides much of the technical and commercial analysis which allows the client and Hunter to drill down to the most cost-competitive option for each project.
