TORONTO – Rogers Wireless announced Monday that its Portable Internet service is now available in 152 urban and rural communities across Canada with the recent addition of 55 communities.
With this expansion, Rogers completes its rollout of the Inukshuk Wireless Broadband network and fulfills the federal government’s requirement for spectrum licence, according to a Rogers Wireless media release.
“Rogers is committed to serving the needs of our customers, as demonstrated by our continued investment in our broadband and wireless networks across Canada,” said Rogers Wireless senior VP and chief marketing officer John Boynton. “With the expansion in coverage of our Portable Internet service, now even more Canadians can experience the benefits of connecting to the Internet quickly and conveniently, whether at home, school or on the road.”
Customers can use Portable Internet anywhere within the coverage area, and can move it from city to city, around the city they’re in, or within their own home or office. Portable Internet uses wireless technology to transmit signals to and from a specially designed modem on fully licensed and protected frequencies.
The service costs $27.95 or $49.95 a month plus a modem purchase of $99.95. A special introductory offer gives customers $5 off per month for the first year, plus free activation.
