Building 5G right. Canada’s fastest 5G network is here.1
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, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec, 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, PCMag, GWS and Ookla all named Bell 5G the fastest in Canada. 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 69-385 Mbps in the Greater Toronto Area). 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 speed 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 and at crowded events.
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 real-time gaming, self-driving cars, and other immersive experiences that rely on real-time communication.
