Canada’s best 5G network is here1
5G will be a true game changer for Canada.
5G is the next generation of wireless technology. With full deployment over the next few years, it will enhance the lives of all Canadians. 5G connectivity will enable immersive video and gaming experiences, remote telehealth, self-driving vehicles, and new applications that will change the way we work, live and play. To fully realize the generational opportunities of 5G, massive investment in new wireless spectrum, technology and infrastructure is required, and Bell is leading the way to deliver Canadians the best 5G network in the world.
Bell 5G will offer unprecedented speed on 5G devices. Our 5G network is now available in cities, towns and communities in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador with more markets coming soon.
Not all 5G networks are created equal. While many may say they have 5G, it takes a leader in network innovation to build Canada’s best 5G network. Bell has the world-class infrastructure required to provide the coverage, reliability and support needed to deliver the network of the future.
In recent network speed testing, GWS, Ookla® and Rohde & Schwarz have named Bell 5G the fastest in Canada.
In addition, PCMag has also awarded Bell fastest mobile network for combined 4G and 5G network speeds. Proof that with the Bell 5G difference, we’re building 5G right.
Bell’s 5G is backed by fibre, the world’s best network technology. This allows for a faster and more reliable network. Bell has Canada's largest fibre-optic network with more than 240,000 total kilometres – providing the best foundation for 5G.
When it comes to developing 5G, the number of cell towers is key. With Bell, you get access to over 2x more cell towers than you do with the next-largest network.3
Bell invests nearly $4 billion each year in Canada’s next-generation network infrastructure. It’s how we’re able to deliver world-class network technologies and keep our customers at the forefront of the 5G revolution.
The best-in-class team of 7,600 network experts who built Canada’s best 4G LTE network are now working on our 5G network to help ensure Bell will offer you our absolute best and most advanced mobile experience as we continue our rollout.
What 5G will mean for Canada’s best network.4
Our 5G enables theoretical peak download speed of up to 1.7 Gbps* in cities, towns and communities across Canada for an incredible mobile experience (average expected speeds between 76–469 Mbps). Once future 5G technology is fully deployed, it will enable mobile experiences and applications that we can’t even imagine today.
Up to 100x faster speeds
Future 5G technology deployments will have theoretical peak download speeds that are up to 100x faster than 4G LTE. This means large files will be downloaded in seconds, videos will be streamed in the highest resolution, and you’ll benefit from an overall better experience.
5G will also provide faster Internet speeds to users in remote areas that currently don’t have access to fibre technology.
Up to 1,000x greater capacity
Future 5G technology connected devices will be able to receive multiple streams of data, dramatically increasing their capacity to enjoy reliably fast speeds, even during peak times, regardless of how large an event or deployment.
Up to 3x lower latency
Future 5G technology will allow devices to connect to one another with a lightning-fast response time. This opens up possibilities for new solutions or technologies that rely on real-time communication.
Bell 5G news
What impresses Jason most about 5G?
Jason Kelly (Bell Wireless Network, Field Services) explains how the evolution of the 5G network impacts our everyday lives.
Bell is the first Canadian carrier to offer 5G roaming across the U.S.
5G Roaming is now available in several international destinations with more to come.
Available on select 5G devices.
Enhancing the future with 5G.
Here are just some of the exciting new 5G-enabled experiences that will eventually improve your customers’ and team’s experiences in revolutionary ways, while opening up a world of possibilities.
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)
Enter immersive experiences with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). 5G’s lower latency and faster connections will make it possible to create immersive training exercises for employees, and sales pitches and 3D presentations for customers.
Smart operations
5G will help to improve business operations by enabling more connected devices and applications for IoT deployments. With the growing need for connectivity and growth, businesses will be able to get real-time data, make better decisions, and streamline processes.
Connected and self-driving vehicles
5G will eventually usher in a new era of driverless vehicles by enabling near real-time communication between devices. This will help us improve safety, manage traffic, and increase the efficiency of future connected vehicles.
