Dryden Mobility is the cellular division of DMTS, with three CDMA cell sites operating in the 800MHz band, covering the city and approximately 60 kilometers of the Transcanada Highway.

Marie.[2] Dryden Mobility will continue to operate as an independent wireless carrier though roaming agreements have been established with Rogers Wireless and Fido Solutions.[3]
DMTS is also the largest internet service provider in the region, providing DSL, Dial-up, and operating the largest high-speed wireless internet network in Northwestern Ontario providing coverage to more than 1000 square kilometers around Dryden.
