Rogers Satellite Offers Internet Connectivity Anywhere In Canada
Rogers has launched a satellite-to-mobile text messaging service to all Canadians called Rogers Satellite. Currently it is being offered as a beta trial and after the beta trial, the subscription will auto renew for $10/mo for the first 12 months, $15/mo after, unless included in your plan or you cancel.
“We’re proud to introduce this ground-breaking technology to help Canadians stay safe and connected in more places. Earlier this month Rogers celebrated the 40th anniversary of the first wireless call in Canada, and this new technology represents the next big leap in wireless connectivity. We’re proud to continue our legacy of innovative firsts and to connect Canadians in more places.”
All Canadians can sign up to use Rogers Satellite beta trial at no cost. Rogers Satellite will initially support text messaging and text-to-911 and will expand to support apps, data and voice services, including 911 voice services.
Rogers Satellite uses low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites and Rogers national wireless spectrum. Wireless spectrum ensures this technology works on most modern smartphones. The company will continue to test and optimize Rogers Satellite services throughout the beta trial.
Had a chance to use it while backcountry camping? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
