CALGARY – Shaw Communications announced today it is launching Freedom Mobile in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
Residents in Medicine Hat (pop. 63,000) can now get Freedom by visiting one of two launch locations: Walmart (2051 Strachan Rd S.E.) and Loblaws’ The Mobile Shop (1792 Trans Canada Way S.E.). The company will be opening its first branded retail location at the Medicine Hat Mall in late August.
“Our Big Gig plans are disrupting the wireless marketplace and have reset Canadians’ expectations of what their wireless provider should do for them. We’re excited to offer Medicine Hat residents the choice and as of May 31, a value that more than 1.5 million Canadians already enjoy,” said Paul McAleese, Shaw’s wirelss president, in the press release.
Residents and visitors to Medicine Hat now have access to Freedom Mobile’s Extended Range LTE network, which leverages 700 MHz spectrum to provide customers with farther-reaching coverage and improved indoor wireless reception, adds the release. Freedom Mobile customers can also access Shaw Go WiFi at more than 100,000 hotspots across Western Canada.
Freedom also announced it will extend wireless services to Lethbridge in the coming months.
