Rogers Communications is expanding its 5G service to new communities in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec, announced the Operator last week.
Rogers' 5G network which is powered exclusively by Ericsson, now reaches more than 170 communities nationwide with its expansion to new 10 cities and towns.
Rogers also announced its participation in Communitech’s Future of Cities collaborative to develop 5G smart city solutions of the future. Smart cities are poised to change the way we live and work, contributing to the future efficiency and prosperity of our communities. 5G will play a critical role in enabling advanced applications such as traffic management for collision prevention, drone delivery, or energy efficient smart buildings. This collaborative brings together members of government, industry and academia to develop 5G smart city solutions for the cities of Waterloo and Brampton. This is part of Rogers multi-year partnership with Communitech to support the advancement of 5G innovation in Canada.
