Bell continues HSPA+ network rollout in Quebec


LES BERGERONNES, QC – The second wave of deployment of Bell’s 4G wireless broadband digital network in the Escoumins and Bergeronnes sectors of the Haute-Côte-Nord RCM will begin operations this week, the company said Monday.

Two new towers will provide cellular telephone and high-speed Internet access in these municipalities and on a long stretch of Route 138, while sites in Longue-Rive in May, and Sacré-Cœur are scheduled to be up and running in the coming weeks.  The entire project is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of this year.

"Bringing Bell Mobility’s 4G network to Escoumins and Bergeronnes will offer our clients access to high-speed Internet and cutting-edge wireless voice and data transmission services – including access to the world’s fastest broadband technology," said Mary-Ann Bell, Bell Aliant’s SVP for Quebec and Ontario, in the announcement.

The project was launched last April by the AIDE-TIC (Agence Interrégionale de Développement des Technologies de l’Information et des Communications), an organization created by the Société d’aide au développement des collectivités du Fjord, and is executed in cooperation with Bell Mobility.
