Rogers partners with Toronto District School Board to deliver Canada's fastest Internet[1] to local students

Pilot project will bring Rogers Ignite Gigabit Internet to 20 TDSB locations at no cost
Rogers has completed world's largest DOCSIS 3.1 rollout to deliver consistently fast, more robust Internet

TORONTO, March 30, 2017 /CNW/ - Today, Rogers Communications announced a new three-year pilot program at 20 Toronto District School Board (TDSB) locations to bring students Rogers Ignite Gigabit Internet, the company's fastest available speed, with unlimited data. This pilot program will deliver top Internet speeds up to 55 times faster than those currently in these TDSB locations, allowing students access to leading digital programs and classroom technologies.

"Today's classrooms are more technology driven than ever," said Dirk Woessner, President, Consumer Business Unit, Rogers Communications. "With our Gigabit speeds, students will have the connectivity to access the best online resources and tools to prepare them for today's digital economy. Like our Connected for Success Program, this is another way we're helping bridge the digital divide."

An Ontario Ministry of Education report [2] looked at the importance of accelerating digital literacy. More than 70 per cent of Ontario schools do not have the recommended minimum bandwidth capacity of 1Mbps per student to support new classroom technologies, and 90 per cent of schools have outdated and inefficient network setups.

"To help our students thrive in school and the global community, equipping them with the best tools – including the fastest Internet available today – is essential to meet the needs of our students as global learners," added Peter Singh, Chief Technology Officer, Toronto District School Board. "This Gigabit pilot will make a meaningful difference in how students access, engage with and learn through technology."

For this pilot the TDSB identified locations most urgently in need of an upgrade. With the capacity for multiple simultaneous users, and freedom from data caps and slow downloads, the pilot enables the TDSB to provide innovative programming in schools, language centres, and employment programs helping:  

  • Students access online resources like virtual museums and science labs, research tools, or Google Classroom.

  • Students connect with targeted learning tools like audio books and apps to improve English literacy, fluency and numeracy.

  • Students of all ages learn about future school or career opportunities at colleges, universities, apprenticeships, or employment using tools like video conferencing.

About Rogers Ignite Internet and DOCSIS 3.1

Rogers is recognized as Canada's fastest internet based on Ookla's analysis of Speedtest data.[1]

For the school, home, or small business, speed matters and Rogers Ignite Gigabit Internet is our best internet yet. At 1 Gigabit per second, it takes about 30 seconds to download a 3 GB HD video or data file whereas the same file would take about 9 minutes at a speed of 50 Mbps.

After enabling Ignite Gigabit Internet for its entire service area last year, Rogers continues to stay ahead of growing demands for speed and data capacity. Rogers is the first cable company in the world to deploy DOCSIS 3.1 cable network technology across its footprint. DOCSIS 3.1 enables more consistently fast performance for an even more robust Gigabit service and lays the foundation for new IP technologies.

Rogers launches cybersecurity solution to protect Canadian businesses on social media

Rogers launches cybersecurity solution to protect Canadian businesses on social media

Approximately 29 million malicious tweets sent worldwide per day have potential to harm the reputation and bottom line of Canadian businesses1

Over a third (37%) of businesses do not believe cyber-attacks are a threat to their social media channels2 yet nearly half (48%) have experienced more than 25 social attacks per year3

TORONTO, March 15, 2017 /CNW/ - Starting today, Canadian businesses can better safeguard themselves online with Social Media Security by Rogers, a cloud-based solution that protects their social media accounts. Millions of businesses today use social media to promote their brands and communicate with customers. At the same time, social media scams have become the number one method to breach a company network4. Cybercriminals can hack into company accounts, impersonate brands and obtain or leak confidential information on a company's customer base. Social Media Security by Rogers monitors, identifies and takes fast action against potential threats or hacks to profiles on a business' social media channels.

"A cyber attack on a social media profile has the potential to cost a business millions of dollars, or worse, lasting reputational damage," said Nitin Kawale, President, Enterprise Business Unit, Rogers Communications. "We're focused on providing customers with cyber security solutions that protect their business and customer data, and Social Media Security by Rogers is the latest in a portfolio that we'll continue to expand this year. We are committed to providing these solutions as a service, which means our team of experts manages the day-to-day so customers can focus on growing their business."

Social Media Security by Rogers includes a set of tools that safeguard a business' social media profiles. These tools are provided and backed by a strategic relationship with ZeroFOX, a North American leader in monitoring social media and digital channels for security threats and business risks, and include:

  • Always-on insights: Businesses have access to data and insights around the clock that will identify malicious posts, profiles, content and false accounts. A team of dedicated security risk analysts monitors businesses profiles to provide this data.

  • Real-time alerts: Customers will receive real-time alerts from a dedicated monitoring team so they can take fast action against security threats including customer scams, piracy, account take-overs and impersonations.

  • Expedited takedowns: Having established direct relationships with major social networks, content can be taken down in as quickly as a matter of hours, whereas it could take days or weeks for a customer to resolve a cyber attack on their own.

"Social media is without a doubt, a core business application – and securing the business, customer and employee engagement across social media platforms is now a priority for security teams and business owners everywhere," said James C. Foster, CEO, ZeroFOX. "Through our relationship with Rogers Communications, Canadian businesses can now get the leading social media security solution from ZeroFOX delivered by their trusted communications services provider. The problem ZeroFOX and Rogers is solving is part of an evolving security challenge that modern businesses face and one that is costing companies over $1.2 billion globally."

"Twitter is where people turn to find out what's happening in the world and businesses are now leveraging our platform to connect with their customers in unique, real-time ways," said Rory Capern, Managing Director, Twitter Canada. "To make sure that Twitter keeps its live, dynamic and connected experience, we have prioritized safety. Introducing the Trust and Safety Council was a big step, but part of making sure that users and businesses feel safe comes down to protecting against cyber threats. It's good to see Rogers introduce a solution that will allow Canadian businesses to engage securely on their social platforms."

Oxford Properties Limited selects RYCOM and Rogers to accelerate its Cisco Smart and Connected Building strategy

News Release Issued: Feb 7, 2017 (9:00am EST)

Oxford Properties Limited selects RYCOM and Rogers to accelerate its Cisco Smart and Connected Building strategy

TORONTO, Feb. 7, 2017 /CNW/ - Rogers Communications and RYCOM Corporation have engaged in a strategic collaboration to accelerate Oxford Properties' Smart and Connected Building strategy, based on Cisco technology infrastructure. Working together, Rogers and RYCOM will implement the Cisco Smart Building platform across Oxford Properties' entire Canadian commercial and retail portfolio by the end of 2017, providing real-time value to improve tenant satisfaction.

Smart and connected building technologies, including the solution that Oxford will implement, provide tenants with greater control over their space. Data and insights gathered through connected solutions give property owners and tenants a deeper understanding of space utilization, energy consumption, security, and environmental and maintenance needs. Owners and tenants can ultimately use this intelligence to define their ideal environment for employees, customers, and business operations.

"The relationship between Rogers and RYCOM accelerates our ability to deploy our chosen Cisco Smart Building platform to transform our retail and office properties across Canada into smart and connected buildings – providing our tenants with the ability to rapidly leverage industry innovations to drive operational efficiencies within their space and ultimately improve their overall business yield," said Andrew McAllan, SVP, Oxford Properties Ltd. "Tenant expectations evolve daily, and we are wholly committed to continuing to invest in, demonstrate the benefits of, and innovate to be a leader in smart and connected buildings in order to meet and exceed the expectations of our valued tenants so that they are able to achieve outstanding business success in the short and long term."

"Our collaboration with Oxford Properties began over six years ago, and together we have made significant developments in testing, deploying, and refining Cisco Smart Building solutions in several high-profile Oxford projects, including our home in RBC WaterPark Place," said Bernadette Wightman, President, Cisco Canada. "As a result of our work together, our Cisco Toronto Innovation Centre has become a global showcase for smart building solutions, including converged HVAC and digital ceiling solutions. We look forward to continuing to work with Oxford and their partners as they deploy these innovations across Canada."

"As a long-standing, trusted advisor to Oxford Properties and the real estate industry, RYCOM is pleased to design, deploy, operationalize, and support Oxford's Smart and Connected Building strategy and Cisco-based platform," said Jennifer Sicilia, VP & GM, RYCOM Corp. "The platform provides Oxford with the ability to rapidly add solutions that bring competitive value to their tenants and the day-to-day operations of their properties, and will generate deep and relevant data insights that both the tenants and property staff can use to drive success. We are pleased to be part of the Smart and Connected Building strategy and to assist Oxford in curating the journey ahead."

"The corporate real estate sector has a huge opportunity to leverage smart, connected solutions to drive positive business outcomes, including a better customer experience and potentially new sources of revenue," said Nitin Kawale, President, Enterprise Business Unit, Rogers Communications. "We're thrilled to be working alongside our partners RYCOM and Cisco to deliver a Smart Buildings blueprint for Oxford Properties, and look forward to building on this work to support Oxford delivering more innovation and productivity in its business."

Today's announcement builds on Oxford Properties' existing relationship with Cisco, who situated one of its nine global innovation centres in Oxford's RBC WaterPark Place in downtown Toronto. Cisco's Toronto Innovation Centre focuses on building innovative solutions that support tenant needs in all real estate classes and transforming how buildings are designed, built, used, and operated. The success of the collaboration has led to further smart and connected building opportunities with the construction of the 100 Adelaide Street West building in Toronto and the Eau Claire Tower in Calgary, AB.
