Rogers Marks 1st Anniversary of LTE Launch
Published on:
Canada's Rogers Communications is marking the first year anniversary of its deployment of LTE services. As the first company to bring LTE to Canadians, Rogers is investing approximately $2.2 billion in wireless capital investments in 2011 and 2012, including close to $500 million to bring LTE to the majority of Canadians by the end of 2012.
"We're proud to have been the first to offer the fastest wireless network technology in the world to our customers," says John Boynton, Rogers Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer.
On July 7, 2011, Rogers launched LTE in the greater metropolitan areas of Ottawa, followed by Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and surrounding cities. So far in 2012, Rogers has rolled out LTE in St. John's, Halifax and Calgary to reach approximately 35 percent of the Canadian population.
Rogers is continuing to expand its LTE network, expanding coverage in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, Calgary and Vancouver, and adding a number of new cities from coast to coast with the plan to cover approximately 60 percent of the population by the end of the year. More cities will be launched in 2013.
