Rogers to expand LTE to more than 25 Canadian cities this year
Canada's wireless network operator, Rogers plans to expand to more than 25 additional cities this year. This will bring LTE to more than half the Canadian population by the end of the year. Rogers LTE service is now also available in more cities surrounding Montréal, including Laval, Terrebonne, Brossard, Longueuil and Vaudreuil.
Rogers had launched LTE network in Canada, starting in Ottawa last July, followed by Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver in September.
"Today, we reach over 11 million and we are continuing to expand. By the end of 2012 we will double this with 20 million Canadians able to use LTE devices to download apps, stream HD videos and music or play on-line games, with no delays or buffering," said John Boynton, Rogers Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer.
