VANCOUVER – Rogers Communications has announced a planned investment of over $450 million in British Columbia over the next three years to expand its wireless network in over 70 communities in the northeast, Interior, Lower Mainland, and Vancouver Island.
As part of this investment, Rogers said that it will also enhance existing LTE connections with 700 MHz spectrum to allow rural and urban customers to access the Internet in even more places, including deep into buildings, elevators and basements. When complete, Rogers will have invested $2 billion in its network in B.C.
"We believe in the growth and future of B.C. and are investing in the province and local communities," said Phil Lind, vice chairman and executive vice president, regulatory, in the news release. "Today's commitment to further enhance our network infrastructure will give British Columbians reliable and consistent access to the latest technology across the province."
