Mike (cellular network)

Mike (styled MiKE) was a Canadian mobile phone and push-to-talk network, launched in 1996 using the proprietary iDEN platform from Motorola. The network was initially launched by Clearnet in the Windsor to Quebec City corridor, while its roll-out in western Canada followed in 1997. Telus Mobility acquired the Mike network through its acquisition of Clearnet in 2000.

In October 2013, Telus launched Telus Link, a push-to-talk service over HSPA, LTE, and wifi. This service runs on iOS, Android, and Blackberry devices, and is intended to replace the iDEN network. According to Telus, the iDEN network would remain active for at least two years after the launch of Telus Link.

The Mike network was shut down on January 29, 2016.
