SaskTel has announced that its 4G wireless network in the Yorkton area has been enhanced to meet increasing customer demand and provide improved coverage and capacity.
These enhancements have increased the overall capacity of the 4G network in the Yorkton area. Tests show that in the Yorkton area the dropped call rate is now down to approximately one per cent. Dropped data sessions have fallen to approximately 0.5 per cent. Both of these percentages are below the target performance specifications and industry norms for 4G network performance.
"I'm pleased to announce the increase in network capacity in the Yorkton area, as it supports our vision of all Saskatchewan residents having access to the largest, fastest and most complete wireless network in the Province," says Greg Ottenbreit, MLA, Yorkton. "An increase in service that will reduce dropped calls to approximately one per cent in the Yorkton area shows SaskTel's commitment to providing rural Saskatchewan with high quality service."
