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.
