Investor Relations
What makes Mage Networks different is our proprietary technology that connects underserved communities around the world to high-speed Internet and bandwidth.
Our technology is designed to deliver quality connection that won't be dropped, no matter where you live.
We don't cut corners with our bandwidth. You can count on us to deliver consistent internet however you need it.
We're helping communities around the world get connected.
Though Mage Networks was only established in 2017, our team has a history of key accomplishments in the wireless networking field:
- Mage Networks technology has deep roots in the early days of broadband wireless which originated in patents from the early 90’s by Wi-LAN Inc. , in which our founder Dr. Sayed-Amr El-Hamamsy, was involved as COO and as CEO. This company went on to license Wi-Fi and 4G technology globally to almost every major technology company around the world.
- Further experience in developing solutions for gathering data from wireless surveys led to an understanding of how powerful wireless networks can be deployed easily in very difficult terrain.
- The wireless seismic solution was be used by clients in the oil and gas industry Unfortunately, the fall of oil and gas prices in 2015-2016 led to the company ceasing operations.
- In 2017, Dr. El-Hamamsy saw an opportunity to create a revolutionary network concept (which we call MagiNet™) and co-founded Mage Networks.
- The team began developing the technology focused on rural and remote markets with plans to grow into other applications such as providing backhaul for 5G LTE networks and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and the Internet of Things.
- Mage has completed the commercial introduction of its first-generation product. Mage has installed networks in several counties and regions of the US and Canada.
- Mage is currently completing the development of a software design tool utilizing Geo Information System (GIS) data and processes, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning to automate the design of its network. This tool will help our partners and customers deploy their networks quickly and effectively.
- Mage has completed a network in Grand Cayman delivering outdoor WiFi in the Port area of Georgetown. The network is to be expanded in two phases, although the expansion has been halted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
- Mage has a proof of concept network rolled out in Accra, Ghana, and Monrovia, Liberia. As well as a network connecting county buildings currently being rolled out in Powhatan, Virginia and another private network in Warrenton, Virginia. That is in addition to the Taber, Coop, Redwood Meadows and Bragg Creek WiFi networks.

Our Leadership
Dr. Sayed-Amr (Sisso) El-Hamamsy
Co-Founder, President and CEO
Dr. Sayed-Amr (Sisso) El-Hamamsy
Physics are the fundamental laws that govern how everything works
(and why they sometimes can’t work.) Mage Networks understands
how physics impacts the cost and access to reliable high-speed
internet in rural and remote communities. Sisso co-founded Mage
Networks in 2017 because he knew that “while you can’t change
physics, you can work with them to develop solutions that would
allow connectivity virtually anywhere.”
A life-long innovator with more than forty-five patents to his name,
Sisso is passionate about developing technology and applying it
to real life. As the world continues to move increasingly on-line,
Mage Networks’ MagiNet™ is connecting people and communities in unserved and underserved, remote and rural areas with reliable,
affordable internet.
When he’s not improving the technology to bring internet access to
more people, you can probably find Sisso on the pitch, playing and
coaching soccer as well as trying to stay one step ahead of his three
kids and their up-to-date knowledge and awareness of technology
and engineering.
Dr. Ahmed Zaki
Co-Founder, Vice President, Engineering
Dr. Ahmed Zaki
For Ahmed, “It’s all about the engineering and the technology; it can help solve real problems for real people”. In 2017, Ahmed co-founded Mage Networks with Sisso El-Hamamsy with a belief that in Canada, access to high-speed, reliable internet should not depend on where you live. The result is MagiNet™, Mage Network’s proprietary networking solution that brings high speed internet to rural and remote communities that have struggled for years to access quality service from larger providers.Even as a boy, Ahmed loved math and engineering and knew that one day, he would become an engineer and solve technological challenges that would impact people’s lives.
That passion led Ahmed into electrical and computer engineering, obtaining his Undergraduate and Master’s degrees at Cairo University and his PhD at the University of Calgary. He continues with that drive at Mage Networks by leading the hands-on engineering team that continuously researches new hardware, designs new networks and tests new products that optimize the services offered by Mage.This continuous challenge to improve has led to Ahmed being described as one of the best software engineers his colleagues have ever worked with. A devoted psychology amateur, Ahmed loves books on the topic and continually combs through them for clues to understanding what makes his two sons click.
Fabiano Mazza
Vice President, Operations
Fabiano Mazza
In his more than 25-year professional career, Fabiano has lived and worked in ten countries and visited dozens more. This diverse experience has given Fabiano a unique perspective and operations expertise which he has used to help companies and communities develop, produce and access more cost-effective energy. A strong work ethic and commitment to continuous improvement were cornerstones of his success with clients and he brings those values with him to his work at Mage Networks.“Technology is only useful if it can be applied in the real world and I believe that we can change the world with our technology—connecting one home at a time.”
For Fabiano, Mage Networks’ technology and MagiNet ™ are proof that technology can provide that life-changing access to rural and remote communities. “Access to the internet is fast becoming an almost basic need for everyone” says Fabiano who leads Mage Networks’ operations team in deploying our technology to communities who lack that basic need.
Fabiano grew up in São Paulo, Brazil and received his Bachelor’s Degree in mechanical-aeronautical engineering from the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica in 1994 and completed his MBA at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business in 2018. A devoted father of two girls, Fabiano wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up. Don’t be surprised if you find him recreating a hydrogen-powered bottle rocket from his childhood in his back yard.
Dr. Mohamed Ammar Al Masri (Ammar)
Manager, Engineering
Dr. Mohamed Ammar Al Masri (Ammar)
“Internet access is no longer just a privilege; it is an absolute
necessity” says Ammar. People everywhere need access to
reliable high-speed internet for everything from on-line shopping
to access to news and information and business and personal
connections. Getting connections to remote and rural communities
has traditionally been a very real challenge—one of many that
Ammar has helped overcome. A telecommunications mobility expert,
Ammar helped lead the development of Mage Networks’ MagiLink™
firmware.
Ammar came to Calgary after receiving his B.Sc. in Electronics and
Telecommunications Engineering from Damascus University. While
working towards his Master’s Degree at the University of Calgary,
Syria was wracked by civil war, erasing his income, academic funding
and future opportunities back home. Never one to back away
from a challenge, Ammar sought out opportunities in Canada and
completed his Master’s Degree as well as his Ph.D. in Electrical and
Computer Engineering at the University of Calgary and joined Mage
Networks in April 2017.
While Ammar is fascinated by telecommunications professionally, at
home he is fascinated by how fast his young daughters are growing
up. When he is not at work, he loves to play pick-up soccer but
admits that he might be a better fan than a player.
