The fourth-generation network will be three to four times faster than the telecom giant's existing advanced network, said Rogers CEO Nadir Mohamed. (Shaun Best/Reuters)Rogers Communications Inc. (TSX:RCI.B) says it's rolling out an even faster wireless network this year to serve its mobile phone and mobile internet users.
Chief executive Nadir Mohamed told the company's annual meeting that the fourth-generation network will be three to four times faster than the telecom giant's existing advanced network.
He said Rogers will roll out the network in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver.
By the end of 2012, the network technology, called Long-Term Evolution or LTE, will be extended to Canada's top 25 markets.
Mohamed says the network will significantly increase upload and download speeds, improve multi-player gaming and allow workers to be truly mobile.
Vancouver-based telecom operator Telus is planning to roll out its own LTE network in 2012. Bell announced that it had begun "successful" tests of its LTE network in the fall, but would not say when the network will launch.
Rogers will roll out the LTE network on radio spectrum that it already owns but Mohamed also called on the federal government to not put any conditions on the next auction for radio waves that cellphone networks use.
