SaskTel 5G Expansion

SaskTel stated, “The significant investments being made by SaskTel in 5G and fibre technologies will help strengthen the networks we rely on and ensure that Saskatchewan remains one of the most well-connected regions in the country.”

SaskTel said its current 5G network can deliver data speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps. As the network matures, it will provide significantly faster speeds, massive network capacity, and ultra-low latency. These features will enable new use cases for emerging wireless technologies that will serve as the foundation for next-generation innovations.

To connect to the 5G network, SaskTel customers need to be within a 5G coverage area, possess a 5G-capable device certified for use on the SaskTel 5G network, and subscribe to a 5G-compatible wireless plan.
