Ongoing network investments continue to improve wireless service in Moncton and outside of Fredericton

MONCTON, New Brunswick, Feb. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Rogers announced it has improved wireless service in parts of New Brunswick including in downtown Moncton, on Highway 2 off Elmwood Drive, as well as on Highway 2 between Hanwell and Mazerolle Settlement, just outside of Fredericton. Now, Rogers and Fido customers in these 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 downtown, travelling on the highway, meeting friends at local restaurants, or even just using their device in their own backyard,” said Troy Harnish, Interim President of Atlantic, Rogers Communications. “These wireless enhancements not only connect customers in New Brunswick to the moments that matter most in their lives today, but they also prepare our network for tomorrow.”

With these network investments, Rogers and Fido customers, including business customers in New Brunswick will be able to connect to more of the things they love, whether that means streaming a sporting event, downloading work documents, posting on social media or even just chatting with friends.

Rogers is currently working on a multi-year program to bring 5G to Canadians. In 2018, 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 last year Rogers completed live 5G testing at Rogers Centre and is currently testing 5G global standards.
