HALIFAX — Eastlink announced today it will invest almost $26 million to expand its mobile network further into New Brunswick, bringing its service to mobile customers in the northern part of the province.
This project will take place over the next couple of years and will expand existing coverage from Shediac to the Miramichi in 2022, followed by Bathurst and the Acadian Peninsula, according to a press release.
“We’re really excited to be taking this next step with our mobile network,” said Jeff Gillham, CEO of the Halifax-based telecom company, in the press release.
“When we launched in 2013, we knew we wanted to bring something simple and different to the communities we serve. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished so far and this expansion into Northern New Brunswick is an exciting example of more to come.”
Eastlink has invested more than $270 million since its launch in 2013 to grow its mobile service into more Canadian communities including Saint John, Fredericton, Shediac and Sussex in New Brunswick, according to the release.
Most recently, Eastlink invested $27.9 million in 3500 MHz wireless spectrum licences, “which will enable next generation technologies powered by 5G,” the release says.
