Samsung and SaskTel bring 5G connectivity to Saskatchewan

SaskTel has announced the roll out of its 5G wireless network, powered by Samsung, in the City of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan’s largest urban centre. In addition, SaskTel is expanding its 5G network in the City of Regina, with plans to cover the majority of both cities by the end of 2022.

In March 2021, Samsung was named sole vendor of SaskTel’s 5G network deployment, and in December 2021, opened a regional office in Regina to support the implementation.

Leveraging Samsung’s full, end-to-end 5G solution, SaskTel’s 5G network makes it possible to deliver hyper-fast data speeds of up to 1.2 Gigabits per second (Gbps), allowing customers to connect faster than at present. Once fully deployed, the 5G network will deliver enhanced capacity and ultra-low latency, enabling new use cases for wireless technology and next-generation innovations such as smart cities, immersive healthcare, agri-tech solutions and gaming.
