Back in October 2014, Rogers was the first carrier in Canada to begin rolling out LTE-Advanced, the next evolution of wireless technology. Today, Rogers dropped me a note to say that they are taking carrier aggregation further by combining 2100 MHz and 2600 MHz spectrum so their customers can enjoy even faster downloads and higher quality video experiences on Category 6 enabled mobiles and tablets as they become available.
Rogers customers in select communities across Ontario and British Columbia, including Toronto, Guelph, Vancouver and Victoria, will be the first customers in Canada to benefit from Category 6 as devices come on the market. None are available just yet. And, this is just the first step as carrier aggregation will allow Rogers to further leverage their spectrum, and create even more network capacity and customer benefits.
As soon as LTE Advanced devices become available, I’ll acquire one for testing and let you know what real worlds speeds I get.
