VANCOUVER – Rogers today announced it has expanded wireless service by erecting two new towers near Kelowna, B.C.
The towers, near Mount Boucherie and Upper Okanagan Mission, expands the Rogers LTE network to make it easier for Rogers and Fido customers to use maps to navigate the Lakeshore Wine Route, share a photo from the bleachers of Jim Lind Arena, or make a call from West Kelowna City Hall, says the press release.
"We're investing in our wireless network to make sure our customers have access to our world-class LTE service in more places," said Perm Jawanda, vice-president, partner retail sales, Rogers, in the release. "Whether you live in Kelowna or are in town to tour the city's famous wineries or catch a hockey game, our customers want to be able to connect with the people and things that matter to them, in more places. As communities in the B.C interior keep growing, we're committed to continuing to improve service for our Rogers and Fido customers."
With LTE, customers can stream video and do more on the go with less buffering. The improved service also provides HD quality voice services when using a device enabled with VoLTE, the latest voice technology. In addition, Rogers has turned on 700 MHz spectrum, the beachfront real estate of spectrum, in these areas, notes the statement.
