Beginning Oct 9, TELUS is expanding its next-generation 5G network to Surrey and White Rock, allowing businesses and residents to access the fastest network in Canada and the world, according to a recent industry report by UK-based Opensignal.
“As we continue to navigate the global health emergency, Canadians can be confident that our world-leading network, with its globally leading speed and expansive coverage, will keep them connected to what matters most,” Darren Entwistle, President and CEO, TELUS.
The latest 5G network outpaces the same network speed in the United States and South Korea.
By the end of the year, nearly 50 communities will be able to have 5G network. It's estimated that 5G will create 250,000 jobs and contribute $40 billion annually to the country’s economy.
“TELUS’ 5G network is built on the backbone of TELUS PureFibre technology, making our 4G LTE network the fastest and most reliable in the world,” said Tony Geheran, Executive Vice-President and Chief Customer Officer at TELUS.
TELUS 5G is also available in Maple Ridge, New Westminster, Pitt Meadows, Vancouver, Victoria, and launching in Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, and Burnaby on Oct. 9, 2020.
