Rogers will carrier the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Smartphone

Rogers made 2 big announcements today in Toronto.

• LTE will be launched in Toronto on September 28, 2011
• Rogers will carrier the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Smartphone

LTE is a next generation technology that will enable unparalleled connectivity, giving customers a mobile broadband experience similar to what they currently experience at home and at work. This next-generation mobile speed will create a better experience for customers using highly-interactive applications like multi-player gaming and rich multi-media communications. It will deliver more usage capacity, which means more users can simultaneously access the network at top speeds without affecting overall network performance.

This year, Rogers will have LTE devices capable of maximum theoretical download speeds of up to 100 Mbps. Today, devices are capable of downloading up to 75 Mbps and Ottawa LTE customers are experiencing typical download speeds ranging from 12 Mbps to 25 Mbps. These speeds are significantly faster than those Canadians experience on any other wireless network. As device selection evolves, maximum theoretical download speeds on the Rogers network will increase to up to 150 Mbps.
"This is an example of how we continue to bring the world's best and newest innovations to our customers and Canadians to be first to enjoy a faster and superior mobile experience with any one of our LTE devices," said John Boynton. "Rogers' LTE network and devices will redefine the way we work, play and communicate."
Starting today, Rogers customers in Toronto and Ottawa can reserve a selection of LTE wireless devices through the new Rogers Reservation System at www.rogers.com/lte.
Rogers was the first Canadian carrier to start conducting technical trials last fall, followed by the commitment to a multiyear deployment that began with Canada's first LTE launch in Ottawa in July 2011. Rogers LTE will expand to Montreal and Vancouver this fall.
