MOOSE JAW — SaskTel announced today it has begun rolling out its 5G wireless network in the City of Moose Jaw, Sask.
“Launching today in parts of Moose Jaw, SaskTel anticipates the majority of the city will have access to its 5G network by the end of March 2023,” reads a press release.
Powered by Samsung technology, “SaskTel’s 5G network can reach speeds of up to 1.2 Gigabits per second (Gbps) allowing customers to connect faster than ever before,” the release says.
SaskTel first launched its 5G network in Saskatchewan last December, initially in parts of Regina, followed by Saskatoon and an expansion in Regina, and then Craven.
To connect to its 5G network, SaskTel customers “need to be within a 5G coverage area, have a 5G capable device that is certified for use on the SaskTel 5G network, and subscribe to a 5G compatible wireless plan,” the release explains.
“At SaskTel, we recognize the true potential of 5G both now and into the future,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel president and CEO, in the release. “As we continue working to expand our 5G network across the province, we look forward to realizing the many ways this new technology will help change how our customers connect with the world around them.”
