SaskTel has expanded its 3G+ wireless network to 33 more locations across the province of Saskatchewan.
"Construction of the 3G+ network is a significant development for SaskTel and its customers in Saskatchewan," Minister responsible for SaskTel Bill Boyd said.
"When the network is complete in 2011 it will be available to 98 per cent of the population."
"Our 3G+ wireless network delivers increased bandwidth, greater international roaming and a wider selection of wireless devices," SaskTel President and CEO Ron Styles said.
"3G+ is the new industry standard and will enable SaskTel to make a smooth transition to future generations of wireless technology."
The 3G+ network provides increased bandwidth with download speeds approximately 4 times faster than existing speeds (up to 21 megabits per second).
It is also compatible with approximately 80 per cent of all networks across the world and international roaming customers will be able to use their SaskTel 3G+ device on 3G+ networks anywhere.
