LITTLE BRITAIN and FRANKFORD, ON – Bell continues to rollout its new broadband wireless Internet, expanding the service to Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough County, Quinte West and Hastings, Lennox & Addington, Northumberland and Prince Edward Counties.
The company said that its Wireless Home Internet is designed to provide affordable broadband access to residents in smaller towns and unserved and underserved rural communities. The 5G-capable technology operates in the 3500 MHz spectrum band on Bell’s LTE wireless network.
To install the service, Bell technicians place a small antenna outside a customer’s home that connects to the Bell LTE network. Customers also receive the Bell Home Hub modem to provide Wi-Fi throughout the home, and Wireless Home Internet can also be bundled with Bell Satellite TV.
“Wireless Home Internet is a revolutionary new service that extends all the benefits of high-speed Internet access to residents and cottagers alike,” said president of Bell residential and small business Rizwan Jamal, in the news release. “As the country’s leader in broadband network investment and innovation, Bell is proud to keep Canadians connected whether they live in major urban centres, smaller towns or rural communities.”
Now available in more than 30 communities in Ontario and Quebec, Bell’s Wireless Home Internet service is expected to reach more than 200,000 additional households in 138 centres this year, eventually extending to 1.2 million households.
