Bell launches 5G service in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton GlobeTechnology
“It’s very early in the deployment of 5G," Ms. Gillies said.
Sascha Segan, lead mobile analyst for technology publication PCMag, said Canadian carriers appear to be in a hurry to offer the new service, even though the government is not providing them some of the necessary spectrum yet.Last week, Ottawa postponed its planned auction of 3,500-megahertz spectrum radio waves that will be critical for delivering 5G service, from Dec. 15 to June 15, 2021.
Bell announced last week that Swedish supplier Ericsson will provide equipment for the radio access portion of its 5G network, which includes antennas and radios on cell towers. The company said it won’t be using gear from China’s Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. for its next-generation wireless network unless Ottawa permits it.
