Rhyzome Networks, previously known as Festival Hydro Services Inc., is a prominent brand that offers a wide range of products and services in the telecommunications industry. Established in 2001, Rhyzome Networks initially operated as a dark fiber provider for the MUSH sector clients in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. In 2010, the company underwent a rebranding and transformed into Rhyzome Networks.

With its city-wide wifi system comprising over 300 wireless mesh access points, Rhyzome Networks aimed to support smart metering backhaul initially. However, they identified an opportunity to address the gaps in the under-serviced telecom market. Consequently, Rhyzome Networks started offering wireless internet services and fiber optic connections, solidifying Stratford's reputation as a smart community and supporting the growth of various industries in the area.

Notably, Rhyzome Networks has played a crucial role in attracting the attention of the Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Network (AVIN) to Stratford. As a result, the company will be installing Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) and 5G communication systems, positioning Stratford as a premier testing site for autonomous and connected vehicles in Ontario. Furthermore, Rhyzome Networks has partnered with local telecommunication providers to bring fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services to residents of both Stratford and St.

Marys. This partnership ensures high-speed and reliable internet connectivity for households in these areas. Leading the way at Rhyzome Networks is a team of experienced individuals.

Jeff Graham serves as the President & CEO, and Alyson Conrad is the Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, Pete McDonnell oversees IT operations, while Courtney Courtnage handles Sales & Marketing management.
