ABBOTSFORD, BC – Rogers and Fido customers shopping at Abbotsford’s Highstreet Shopping Centre are now enjoying improved wireless service.
Rogers said Monday that it has improved LTE coverage, allowing customers to make calls, access the internet, stream music and video at the open-air mall, which features retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters and a community plaza. Businesses, too, will now have the ability to connect more quickly with customers and colleagues. The improved coverage also extends to adjacent commercial businesses and residents in this growing Fraser Valley community.
"Our customers want to stay connected wherever they are," said Rogers’ regional VP Perm Jawanda, in the news release. "Whether it's back-to-school shopping, taking in a movie or enjoying family events in the plaza, our customers now have the convenience of being able to use their phones seamlessly. That's why we're committed to investing in communities across B.C."
Rogers has also turned on 700 MHz spectrum in these areas, providing better coverage in hard to reach places like basements, elevators and buildings with thick concrete walls. This means that Rogers and Fido customers, including business customers, will have a stronger LTE signal on their device and will be less likely to lose LTE coverage and drop to lower data speeds.
