Rogers Lights Up LTE Network In Ottawa

If you want your LTE and you live in Ottawa, today is your lucky day. Here’s what Rogers told me about their LTE launch:

Rogers launched Canada’s first LTE network and Ottawans are the first in Canada to experience it. This fall Rogers will roll out LTE to Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal with another 21 markets in 2012.

At launch, the first LTE device will be the LTE Rocket Stick. Later this year Rogers customers will be able to get their hands on the first LTE smartphones from HTC and Samsung.

If you want all the details, head over to Redboard and read the details. Here’s one important one:

At launch, the LTE Rocket stick will be capable of maximum theoretical download speeds of up to 75 Mbps on the Rogers LTE network. Typical download speeds can range from 12 Mbps to 25 Mbps. As device selection evolves, maximum theoretical download speeds will increase to up to 150 Mbps.

The only thing that they left out is what the caps are going to be as you know that there will be caps. But other than that, this is big news. Ottawa citizens are lucky dogs!
