NIAGARA FALLS – Bell Canada today announced the expansion of its Wireless Home Internet broadband service to communities and rural areas in the Regional Municipality of Niagara.
Eligible households in and outside of Fort Erie, Grimsby, Lincoln, Niagara Falls, Pelham, St. Catharines, Thorold, Wainfleet, Welland and West Lincoln, can gain access to Bell’s high-speed fixed wireless solution. It will soon be expanded to Port Colborne as well.
“Bell is proud to expand fast, reliable and affordable Internet service to communities of all sizes throughout the Niagara Peninsula” said Rizwan Jamal, president of Bell Residential and Small Business, in the company’s press release.
Wireless Home Internet is delivered over Bell’s advanced LTE wireless network in the 3500 MHz spectrum band, which is 5G-capable technology and is designed to extend broadband Internet access to smaller towns, rural locations and other underserved communities.
The wireless solution sees Bell technicians place a small antenna outside a customer’s home that connects to the Bell LTE network and customers also receive the Bell Home Hub modem to provide Wi-Fi throughout the home.
Wireless Home Internet can also be bundled with Bell Satellite TV, too, offering more than 250 live and on demand channels on tablets, smartphones, laptops and big screens with the Bell Fibe TV app.
Now available in more than 80 communities in Ontario and Québec, Bell’s Wireless Home Internet service is expected to reach more than 200,000 additional households in 138 centres this year, ultimately extending to 1.2 million households across seven provinces.
