Rogers to Bering Satellite-to-Phone Service

Starting in 2024, Rogers will expand satellite-to-phone coverage to the most remote regions of Canada and rural highways not covered by wireless networks. The service will begin with SMS texting and later expand to include voice and data to help Canadians to reach 911 with 5G and 4G smartphones.

Rogers Communications and SpaceX have partnered to introduce satellite-to-phone technology in Canada using SpaceX’s Starlink low earth orbit satellites and Rogers’ national wireless spectrum. The collaboration aims to service users throughout Canada’s most secluded wilderness, national parks, and rural highways that are presently disconnected.

Regarding the announcement, Rogers said, “Emergencies do not wait, which is one reason we are investing to ensure Canadians can always reach 911 from anywhere in Canada.”

Rogers has conducted successful technical tests with Lynk satellites in remote British Columbia and will start testing in Atlantic Canada to bring satellite-to-phone coverage across Canada. “As the country’s biggest investor in the 5G spectrum with Canada’s largest 5G network, Rogers is working with SpaceX to expand wireless coverage across all of Canada, from coast to coast, to keep Canadians connected and safe”, according to the statement.
