Rogers Turns on 5G Service for Its Customers at All TTC Subway Stations
17 Novembre 2023 - 12:30PM
Rogers Communications today announced that it turned on 5G service
for Rogers customers at all remaining stations in the TTC subway
system, along with the tunnel of the Vaughan extension between
Sheppard West and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre stations. It also
added more reliable 911 access for all riders at these new
locations.
“I’m thrilled that our team has completed the upgrade of the
legacy network well ahead of schedule,” said Ron McKenzie, Rogers
Chief Technology and Information Officer. “We’re now transitioning
to the next critical phase of the project, expanding 5G coverage to
connect the remaining 36 kilometers of track.”
Since launching Rogers 5G on the TTC subway in August, Rogers
customers used over 411 terabytes of data while riding the subway.
That’s the equivalent of streaming the ‘Barbie’ movie more than
99,000 times or streaming more than 62,000 Toronto Maple Leafs
games. The three busiest stations for data usage are Bloor/Yonge,
Queen’s Park and Wellesley, and data usage in tunnels is highest
between St. George and St. Patrick stations.
In April, Rogers acquired the cellular network in the TTC subway
system from BAI Canada and committed to invest hundreds of millions
of dollars to roll out 5G service and more reliable 911 access
across all 75 subway stations and all tunnels. In August, Rogers
introduced 5G in the busiest areas of the TTC subway for its
customers and turned on 5G service for all riders in October.
Until December 31, TTC riders can enjoy five free rides when
they tap to pay with a Rogers credit card using their mobile
wallet. For offer details visit: rogersbank.com/TTC.
