Bell announced Thursday that it intends to expand and enhance wireless service in 224 communities across the country by early 2026.
The mission includes building new towers and upgrading existing infrastructure to “improve connectivity and provide customers with more reliable streaming, faster download speeds, higher quality video calls and cutting-edge AI applications,” it said in a press release.
“Work is already underway in urban, rural and northern communities,” the telco said in the release. “These enhancements will deliver better coverage, faster speeds and greater reliability – helping Canadians stay connected, stream and game seamlessly and enjoy high-quality video calls.”
The company said it has invested nearly $24 billion its wireless and fibre networks since 2020, and its wireless network provides coverage to over 99 per cent of the population, with 89 per cent having access to 5G or 5G+ services.
