MTS expanding CDMA network to 11,000 Manitobans

MTS entered into an agreement with Rogers to build out their new HSPA wireless network by the end of 2010… but news todays comes in the form of CDMA!

The folks over at MTS have announced that 8 new Manitoba communities (Churchill, Split Lake, Oxford House, Snow Lake, Bisset, Middlebro, Ebb and Flow and Fisher River) will have CDMA coverage by the first half of 2010. The total build out is valued at $2 million and will reach approximately 11,000 people in the areas.

Kelvin Shepherd, President, MTS said “We are excited to expand our mobile wireless services to new areas of our home province. Our wireless network already provides the widest coverage available in Manitoba, with over 97% of the province’s population enjoying cellular coverage. Expanding to eight more communities, including Churchill, is part of our commitment as Manitoba’s leading wireless service provider to continue to invest in our network and services.”

CDMA works and still has, by far, the best coverage in Canada and the US. The service will run for another ten years or so. GSM’s coverage is but a fraction and just this week there was a report to the effect that AT&T would need a $5 billion investment to catch up with Verizon. Rogers is totally blown out of the water by Belus here in Canada for both CDMA and HSPA coverage.
