Read MoreHide Full Article
Rogers Communication (RCI - Free Report) recently announced that its clients can now engage in calls, messaging and streaming using the 5G network within the tunnels and the stations of Toronto Transit Commission's (TTC) Downtown U area.
Additionally, Rogers Communication has enhanced the cellular infrastructure, ensuring improved and dependable access to 911 services for all commuters in these regions. These efforts are part of the company's gradual network enhancement and expansion initiative.
After recently acquiring BAI Canada, RCI has collaborated closely with TTC to enhance the outdated cellular framework, catering to all wireless carriers in Toronto. This initiative also maintains service for Freedom Mobile users. The company is modernizing the network with fiber, updated radio gear and expanded spectrum bands. This aims to offer 5G access and enhance the performance of the 3G/4G network.
Rogers Communication is committing substantial funds to implement 5G connectivity and 911 availability throughout 75 subway stations and nearly 80 kilometers of track. Presently, individuals using any mobile carrier can exclusively dial 911 in areas with cellular coverage, which includes station platforms, concourses and about a quarter of the tunnels. This is expected to boost the number of postpaid as well as prepaid subscribers in the upcoming quarters.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for RCI’s 2023 wireless postpaid subscribers is pegged at 7.19 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 32%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for wireless prepaid subscribers is pegged at 8.44 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 6.07%.
