Rogers Communications Inc. has expanded its 5G network technology to White Rock and Surrey.
Rogers announced last week its introduction of 5G cellular network to 26 British Columbia municipalities, however, residents won’t be able to access the technology without a 5G-enabled phone.
Including the newly serviced cities, Rogers 5G networks have been launched in more than 50 towns and cities in Canada and will reach a total of more than 60 by the end of the year.
Rogers began rolling out 5G in January, starting with downtown Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

Region, said in a news release. “We are proud that 5G is now available in 27 cities and towns in British Columbia.
