REGINA – SaskTel has completed another 18 4G and 4G LTE wireless network infrastructure enhancement projects across the province in the months of February, March and April to address the ever-growing customer demand for network coverage and capacity.
In addition to traditional towers being constructed across the province, SaskTel is also increasing capacity and coverage by deploying other options when traditional towers are not feasible due to space or other limitations. These include installing carrier antennas to increase coverage strength inside of buildings, streetlights, rooftops, wooden and stealth poles, as well as installing new cellular sites such as towers or COWS (cellular on wheels) in various locations.
The communities that have received 4G and 4G LTE network enhancements over the last three months include: Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Macklin, Duck Lake, Midale, Odessa, Biggar, Wynard Swift Current, and Whitewood.
“SaskTel has a long record in pursuing innovative and cutting edge solutions when it comes to expanding our 4G network across the province,” said Don McMorris, Minister responsible for SaskTel, in the news release. “We are committed to building and powering the largest, fastest and most complete wireless network in the province.”
