Ongoing network investments continue to improve wireless service in communities across Ontario
OTTAWA, Oct. 31, 2018 /CNW/ - Today, Rogers announced
improved wireless service in three neighbourhoods in the nation's capital: Manotick Main Street and O'Grady, McKeown and Coker,
and Orleans Village. Now, Rogers and Fido customers in these 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 around Greely, or even just using their device in their own backyard in
Orleans," said Arnold Abramowitz, Vice-President, Wireless Access
Networks at Rogers Communications. "We are on the brink of the next generation of network technology, so these wireless
enhancements not only connect customers in Ottawa 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 Ottawa will be able to
connect to more of the things they love, whether that means streaming their favourite videos, downloading work documents, posting
on social media or even just chatting with friends. This investment also improves the wireless experience for our business
customers, like those in the automotive and construction sectors in Greely. Today's announcement
is one of several recent Rogers wireless investments in Ontario including Brampton, Port
Dover, Sarnia and Cambridge.
Rogers is currently working on a multi-year program to bring 5G to Canadians and to drive Canada's economic
growth. 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 in 2020.
