Rogers and Ericsson partner to bring 5G to Canadians
Completes multiple live tests of 5G at Rogers Centre
Commits to 5G testing in multiple cities with Ottawa next on the list
TORONTO, April 16, 2018 /CNW/ - Canadians are one step closer to 5G, the next evolution in wireless that will change the way they connect to the world around them. Today, Rogers announced a multi-year network plan that includes working with Ericsson, a North American leader in 5G deployment.
"We are at the advent of the fifth generation of wireless networks. Similar to how 4G powered the proliferation of the smartphone and on demand economy, 5G will make the mass communication of IoT a reality, changing how we live and work," said Jorge Fernandes, Chief Technology Officer, Rogers Communications. "We're setting the table to lead on 5G with the right infrastructure, spectrum, partners and investments, so we're ready when the ecosystem is ready. Ericsson has helped pioneer the 5G infrastructure across North America, so we couldn't think of a better company to support the reliable and consistent network that our customers will use today and in the future with the performance and consistency they expect from us."
At Rogers Centre today, the companies demonstrated multiple live 5G examples as a part of Rogers 5G testing program. Participants wore virtual reality (VR) glasses to toss a baseball back and forth, virtually shopped in a retail store, and controlled robots with real-time responsiveness. Rogers also demonstrated Quad-band Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) on Gigabit LTE to show how LAA provides high bandwidth, simultaneously across several devices. Rogers Centre is an ideal real-world testing environment with thousands of connected devices, dense concrete, and high peak data usage.
"The future of our businesses, our industries and our daily lives will be impacted by 5G, led by innovative service providers like Rogers. Rogers is taking a significant leap forward today and we are very excited about the opportunity to jointly develop innovative services and new customer experiences," said Niklas Heuveldop, Head of Market Area North America, Ericsson. "Ericsson is working hard each day to make 5G a reality, here in Canada and around the world. We estimate that there will be one billion 5G subscriptions worldwide by the end of 2023."
The first generation of wireless networks brought consumers analogue voice calls, then SMS with 2G, web browsing with 3G, and high-speed data and video streaming with 4G. 5G will open up a whole new world, a world that moves beyond connecting people to connecting machines and mass connectivity through the Internet of Things (IoT). Not just about speed, fifth generation wireless technology will deliver always-on reliability and real-time connectivity. With ultra-low latency, the lag between sending a request and the network responding will theoretically drop to one millisecond, 400 times faster than the blink of an eye. This allows for a massive increase in the number of connected devices and a range of applications that require quick responsiveness, like driverless cars, virtual reality and low-power IoT innovations for smart cities.
Rogers network plan includes the continued rollout of its Gigabit LTE network with technology and equipment that is based on the latest global 3GPP standards, including 4x4 MIMO, four-carrier aggregation and 256 QAM. The company will boost and densify its network with small cells and macro sites across the country. Working with Ericsson, Rogers will trial 5G in Toronto and Ottawa, in addition to select cities over the next year.

Rogers Media and CBC Sign New 7-Year Sub-Licensing Agreement for Hockey Night in Canada Broadcasts and Stanley Cup Playoffs
News Release Issued: Dec 19, 2017 (12:30pm EST)

Rogers Media and CBC Sign New 7-Year Sub-Licensing Agreement for Hockey Night in Canada Broadcasts and Stanley Cup Playoffs
– New deal follows previous agreements to deliver Hockey Night in Canada to largest possible audience every Saturday night –
– Length of partnership totals 12 years, the same duration as Rogers's national deal with the NHL –
TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2017 /CNW/ - Rogers Media and CBC have signed a new seven-year sub-licensing agreement for English-language broadcasts of Hockey Night in Canada and the Stanley Cup playoffs, beginning with the 2019-20 season. The new deal, which follows a previous four-year sub-licensing deal and one-year extension, runs through the end of the 2025-26 season which is when Rogers's historic 12-year national broadcast rights deal with the NHL is due to expire.
The agreement ensures that Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts continue to reach the maximum number of Canadians every Saturday night on CBC, Sportsnet, and City. In addition, Hockey Night in Canada games are also available on the CBC Sports app, the CBC TV app, CBCSports.ca, Rogers NHL LIVE and Sportsnet NOW.
"CBC has been an excellent partner over the years and we are excited to extend our relationship," said Rick Brace, President, Rogers Media. "Hockey Night in Canada is the most celebrated hockey brand in the country and is steeped in tradition. We are committed to working together to ensure it reaches the widest possible audience."
"The strong relationship we enjoy with Rogers Media paved the way for this new agreement; HNIC on Saturday nights is something Canadians have come to cherish and we're thrilled that this long-standing tradition will continue for many years to come," said Hubert T. Lacroix, President and CEO, CBC-Radio-Canada.
As part of the new deal, CBC will continue to broadcast nationally-televised regular season games on Saturday night plus all four rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The iconic Hockey Night in Canada brand will continue on CBC and across all Rogers Media platforms on Saturday nights. Sportsnet will continue to produce the games, retain all editorial control, and manage the advertising, with games continuing to be produced from Sportsnet's Hockey Central Studio at the CBC building in Toronto.
Since Rogers's landmark broadcast and multimedia deal with the NHL began four years ago, Hockey Night in Canada has consistently ranked among the Top 5 programs, reaching on average 7.5 million Canadians each week. This season, Hockey Night in Canada has been the most-watched program in Canada every Saturday night, reaching a total of 18 million Canadians or 50% of the country's population. Riding the momentum of five Canadian teams making the playoffs last year, ratings continue to rise year-over-year for both the early and late match-ups.
"Our priority in coming to this new agreement was to ensure Canadians continue to have access to Saturday night hockey on CBC and an overwhelming majority of our audience told us they want it to be on CBC," said Greg Stremlaw, Executive-Director, CBC Sports & General Manager, Olympics.
"Canadians have a profound love and deep-seated passion for the game of hockey," said Scott Moore, President of Sportsnet & NHL Properties, Rogers Media. "Sportsnet will continue to fuel that passion by providing full-access coverage to our audiences at every opportunity. It's a pledge we made to our fans when we won the rights in 2013, and one that we continue to deliver on every day."
Rogers's 12-year national broadcast and multimedia agreement with the NHL, which began with the 2014-15 season, remains the largest media rights deal in NHL history and provides Rogers with all national rights on all platforms in all languages. In addition to Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet will continue to produce and televise national games on Sundays during Rogers Hometown Hockey and on Wednesday evenings with Scotiabank Wednesday Night Hockey. In total, Sportsnet will produce and broadcast more than 450 national and regional NHL games during the 2017-18 season.
