HALIFAX – Rogers Communications announced today it has expanded its 5G network in Dartmouth and Bedford, Nova Scotia.

The company “has now delivered Atlantic Canada’s first 5G network to 16 communities across the region, including to the cities of Halifax, Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton, as part of a broader series of investments in Canada’s east coast,” a press release says.

Over the course of 20 months, Rogers has “enhanced its wireless networks across 32 communities in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island,” and has “invested in wireline network upgrades across 71 communities in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.”
