Canada's DAVE Wireless Signs Roaming Agreement with Rogers Wireless

­New Canadian mobile network operator, Data & Audio Visual Enterprises Wireless (DAVE Wireless) says that it has entered into a multi-year roaming agreement with Rogers Wireless.

"DAVE Wireless is building our own 3G network in major metropolitan areas," said Dave Dobbin, President of DAVE Wireless. "As part of our promise to deliver value, simplicity and flexibility to our customers, we needed a high-quality partner to provide our customers voice and data roaming services when they travel outside our coverage areas. That is why, when securing a national roaming partner, we chose Rogers - their network is compatible with our 3G network and will allow us to offer the attractive services and innovative mobile technologies that our customers will want."

DAVE Wireless now has roaming agreements in place to cover North America.

"Allowing our customers to roam across Canada and the USA is important in today's wireless world and we are pleased to be roaming partners with Rogers in Canada," said Dobbin.

The network operator recently signed an agreement with Bell Mobility for wireless cell-site sharing, along with a multi-year contract with Ericsson to build its own 3G network.

Following the Canadian wireless spectrum auction, DAVE Wireless holds licenses which cover more than half of Canada's population in 10 of the 13 largest markets including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa.

The company plans to launching services in early 2010.
