ROGERS EXPANDS SATELLITE-TO-MOBILE COVERAGE TO THE U.S.

Canadians can stay connected in places where traditional cellular networks do not reach when roaming in the United States -- covering 1.3 million more square kilometres through Rogers Communications Inc.'s satellite-to-mobile coverage.

By combining the reach of Rogers Satellite, a first-of-its-kind service in Canada, and T-Satellite, the first and only satellite-to-mobile network in the U.S. offered by T-Mobile, Rogers has the most coverage in Canada and the U.S.

"Canadians want to stay connected wherever they are, even when they're travelling," said Mark Kennedy, chief technology officer, Rogers. "By expanding satellite-to-mobile technology, our customers can get more coverage and roam effortlessly throughout the U.S."

In areas without cellular service, satellite-to-mobile technology supports text messaging, including text-to-911 and public safety alerts. The service also supports popular apps, including WhatsApp, Messenger and X; navigation with Google Maps and AllTrails; and real-time weather updates through AccuWeather, with more on the way.

"The mission of T-Satellite is to extend coverage to places no cell signal has ever reached -- keeping our customers connected in more places than ever before," said Jeff Giard, vice-president of business development and partnership marketing, T-Mobile. "Together with Rogers, we're bringing that same experience to travellers exploring beyond the reach of traditional networks in the U.S."

For Rogers customers, satellite-to-mobile roaming in the U.S. is included with popular or ultimate plans with U.S. coverage, roam like home, and select travel passes at no extra cost.
