Rogers last week launched Rogers Xfinity, bringing a suite of Comcast technologies to its customers as part of a 10-year partnership with the American cable giant.
Comcast’s next-generation EntertainmentOS simplifies the viewing experience by bringing live sports, entertainment and news, on-demand and streaming apps into one platform, “so customers spend more time watching and less time searching with the award-winning voice remote and integrated interface,” a Rogers press release from April said.
The Xfinity ecosystem includes other technologies, such as next-generation internet gateway technology that allows for higher speeds, better reliability with “Storm-Ready WiFi” technology meant to allow users to stay connected during an outage, and home security products to create a converged system.
“We’re thrilled to bring Comcast’s leading-edge Xfinity suite of products and services to Canadians” Rogers CEO Tony Staffieri said in a press release Thursday. “Rogers Xfinity will give our customers world-class internet and entertainment services on Canada’s fastest and most reliable network.”
The cable giant said it is working on network upgrades to “deliver enhanced reliability and multi-gig speeds to nearly seven million homes by the end of this year.”
