SaskTel cellular customers in the Swift Current, Abbey and Cabri regions will have access to faster data speeds thanks to an upcoming network improvement.
SaskTel announced on Monday that a network enhancement will improve a variety of wireless data services, including web browsing, content downloads and video streaming. A total of 64 Saskatchewan communities will be involved in a $11.3 million improvement through the new EV-DO Rev A technology.
"With the much higher speeds made possible by EV-DO Rev A technology, and an EV-DO capable device, SaskTel cellular customers will be able to use wireless data services such as web browsing, content downloads, streaming video, streaming radio, email and instant messaging at speeds close to residential Internet high speed connections," SaskTel president and CEO Robert Watson said. "We will continue to invest in our network to provide our customers with the latest wireless technologies over the largest digital cellular network in the province."
If customers roam outside of the EV-DO coverage area, the device will switch to 1X coverage automatically.
