Ongoing network investments continue to
improve wireless service in communities across Saskatchewan
SASKATOON, Dec. 20, 2018 /CNW/ - Today, Rogers
announced improved wireless service in Saskatoon in the neighbourhood of Stonebridge.
Now, Rogers and Fido customers in this residential and commercial
area will have a faster, more reliable and consistent wireless
experience than ever before.
"Our customers want high quality wireless access wherever they
are, whether it's working on the go, playing hockey at Blair Nelson
Park, or even just using their device in their own backyard," said
Larry Goerzen,
President, Alberta and Prairies Region at Rogers
Communications. "These wireless enhancements not only connect
customers in Saskatoon to the
moments that matter most in their lives today, but they also
prepare our network for tomorrow."
With this network investment, Rogers and Fido customers in
Saskatoon will be able to connect
to more of the things they love, whether that means streaming their
favourite TV shows, downloading work documents, posting on social
media or even just chatting with friends. Today's announcement is
one of several recent Rogers wireless investments in Saskatchewan including Regina
and Hampton Village in
Saskatoon.
Rogers is currently working on a multi-year program to bring 5G
to Canadians. Recently, Rogers announced plans to launch a national
LTE-M network to enable the next era of IoT solutions in
Canada, as well as a 5G research
partnership with University of British
Columbia, and a national infrastructure agreement with
Ericsson. Earlier this year Rogers completed live 5G testing at
Rogers Centre and is currently testing 5G global standards. Rogers
continues to upgrade its 4.5G network with the latest 5G-ready
technology to be ready for 5G commercial deployment.
