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.
