Ongoing network investments continue to
improve wireless service in communities across Ontario
KING TOWNSHIP, ON, Nov. 26, 2018 /CNW/ - Today, Rogers
announced improved wireless service around the Schomberg Village area along Hwy 27 in
King Township. Now, Rogers and
Fido customers in these busy areas 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, staying connected while
running errands at Brownsville Junction plaza, or even just using
their device in their own backyard," said Arnold Abramowitz, Vice-President, Wireless
Access Networks at Rogers Communications. "These wireless
enhancements not only connect customers in Schomberg Village to the moments that matter
most in their lives today, but they also prepare our network for
tomorrow."
"As Mayor, I am excited that Rogers is making these wireless
enhancements as it is an important service for all of our residents
and businesses," said King
Township Mayor Steve
Pellegrini.
With this network investment, Rogers and Fido customers in
Schomberg Village 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 Ontario including Brampton, Port
Dover, Sarnia, Cambridge and Ottawa.
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.
