Telus announced Wednesday it is committing $135 million in Calgary this year to expand and improve its infrastructure, operations and services in the city.
The investment will focus on building next-generation networks, fueling innovation and sustainability, and driving economic growth, according to a Telus press release.
“We live in a digital world, and this investment continues TELUS’ legacy of making vital contributions to advance the economic strength and social vitality of Calgary and the province of Alberta,” Navin Arora, executive vice president of Telus and president of Telus Business Solutions, Telus Health, Telus Agriculture and Consumer Goods and Telus Partner Solutions, said in the release.
“This investment is driven by our purpose to enact meaningful change for people in Calgary and around the world, to empower communities, drive innovation and sustainability, and build a friendly future for everyone who lives, works and serves in the great City of Calgary,” Arora said.
Telus says it has invested more than $60 billion in Alberta and $259 billion nationally since 2000 to build and develop network infrastructure, operations and spectrum, connecting families and businesses to its 5G and PureFibre networks.
As part of its ongoing plans through 2028, Telus says it is enhancing its 5G network with open radio access network (ORAN) technology across Alberta and Canada, creating more reliable and faster connections, while using resources more efficiently and cutting down on energy use.
