Rogers announced today that their customers will have wireless coverage in more places than ever before, including on major roads and highways and in rural communities. Customers can access Extended Coverage at no extra cost so they can talk, text and use data on their mobiles and tablets in even more locations. With Extended Coverage, customers can stay connected while travelling along northern Ontario’s major routes including Highway 144 between Sudbury and Timmins; Highway 11 from north of Cochrane through Kapuskasing; Highway 65 east of Englehart and Highway 101 west of Timmins. Based on agreements Rogers has made with other carriers, Extended Coverage allows eligible postpaid customers to stay connected in more places, at no extra charge and with no sign-up requirements. Customers are able to use their device in more places now by simply making sure data roaming is turned on.

In addition to Extended Coverage, Rogers will deliver a better network experience to customers in northern Ontario by continuing to expand its LTE network and roll out LTE-Advanced, the next evolution of wireless technology that combines spectrum bands for even faster speeds. More Ontarians will also have access to 700 MHz spectrum for improved signal quality in basements, elevators and in buildings with thick concrete walls.
