TORONTO – Rogers’ Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless network is now available in more cities surrounding Montréal, including Laval, Terrebonne, Brossard, Longueuil and Vaudreuil, and will expand to more than 25 additional cities this year.
Rogers also said that it will add the Samsung Galaxy Note to its LTE devices in February. The all-in-one LTE tablet and smartphone hybrid has a 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED touchscreen display, runs on Android OS 2.3, is made of tough Gorilla Glass, has an "S Pen" stylus pen to take notes, and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. It also offers an eight megapixel camera that allows users to record 1080p HD videos.
"We were proud to be first to bring the LTE network to Canadians," said EVP and chief marketing officer John Boynton, in Monday’s announcement. "Today, we reach over 11 million and we are continuing to expand. By the end of 2012 we will double this with 20 million Canadians able to use LTE devices to download apps, stream HD videos and music or play on-line games, with no delays or buffering."
