Digital life | Discover Techno Quebec (and Canada)


Canada and Quebec are well known, make very few technological devices. And yet local electronic brands, there are several. Here are some.

Like Gilles Vigneault, your country, is you too winter? Quebec has solutions for that. The manufacturer of thermostats and controllers sinope technologies is established in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and sells a whole range of connected devices compatible with Hilo d’Hoistébec and other genus programs offered by electric distributors elsewhere at Canada. The Mysa Thermostats, from Newfoundland and Labrador, do the same thing and also include a very practical wall air conditioner controller in summer. Outside, you can wear heated clothes from the Ewool brand, or double the bet by opting for chic Auclair gloves equipped with ewool heating elements.

VOSKER’s V300 surveillance camera

The Vosker security cameras are mainly aimed at companies, but not only. They are equipped with an activated SIM card ready to connect to a cellular network. The first seven days of use are free. Afterwards, packages are offered, from $ 10 per month. A Vosker solar camera can be installed almost anywhere, and is much more functional than cheap Chinese products.

Simaudio’s Moon Ace digital receiver

We have already talked about these pages of the Quebec brand Sounds Good. Its headphones are made in China and sold at very low prices, but can hold the comparison with foreign brands sometimes twice as expensive. At the other end of the spectrum, the Montérégian range of sound equipment for the Simaudio house is in the very high -end. Its Moon ACE digital receiver is not given, at $ 5,000, but it will broadcast the best quality music from web services such as French Qobuz or German Idagio.

Used phones sold by Secondcell

No, the BlackBerry does not come back. But given the weakness of the Canadian dollar, buying a used phone is the best way to save up to half the price of a new phone, and buy more. There are some specialized brands in Quebec, including Secondcell, from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, or even Mobile Klinik, which belongs to Telus and which has shops all over the country.

A Solios solar watch

The Quebec brand Solios manufactures watches powered by solar energy, which avoids throwing tons of small batteries in the trash. Their materials are purchased from suppliers concerned with the environment. The Solios vegan leather bracelets testify to this, they who avoid rejecting several liters of dyeing in rivers of drinking water.

Le Model X de Carbo Bike

Quebec is spoiled in terms of electric bikes. The PowerPlay electric mountain bikes from the Rocky Mountain brand will make you hit the trails like a pro. Vélec brand’s electric bikes are resolutely more urban. For those looking for the ultimate from the electrified bike, the foldable bike of Carbo Bike is certainly to be considered. Ultraleg and ultra -compact, it is the Cadillac of electric bikes.

The charger for the house of Flo

Tesla puts you off since the radicalization of her boss, Elon Musk? Used electric cars (even Tesla!) Perhaps the best purchase to save money-after public transport or active, of course. You will fill up with Quebec electricity rather than buying Alberta oil, which goes through pipelines in the United States and Ontario. The Flo, Shawinigan charging stations, and the electrical circuit will help you recharge you at low cost.
