WINNIPEG – Rogers rolled out its LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) service Monday in select Manitoba communities, including in Winnipeg, Brandon, Portage La Prairie, Selkirk, Steinbach, Gimli, Morden, Winkler, Churchill, Thompson and Flin Flon.
Billed as the next generation of world-class network technology, LTE-A combines two or more bands of spectrum to create a larger pipe or superhighway for data to travel on, providing a more consistent and worry-free mobile experience for customers.
Rogers added that it has also turned on additional spectrum in Manitoba to provide better coverage in hard-to-reach places like basements, elevators and buildings with thick concrete walls. The LTE coverage area has also been expanded in the province, which allows enhanced HD-quality voice services when using a device enabled with VoLTE, the latest in voice technology.
"We have a long and proud history in Manitoba of bringing our customers continued network improvements that help them connect to what matters most to them," said Colin Bartlett, Rogers’ prairies region director, in the news release. "With LTE-A, they can connect with even more of what they love, whether it's watching the Jets on Rogers NHL Live, using maps to get to a fall community supper or staying in touch with friends and family on social media."
