VANCOUVER, British Columbia-Canadian wireless operator Telus Mobility announced a three-year expansion of its CDMA-based digital network into what it termed “small and remote communities across the British Columbia heartland” as part of the British Columbia government’s plan to “bridge the digital divide.”
Telus said the $20 million expansion project will upgrade the remainder of its existing British Columbia network to digital technology. The expansion is expected to cover 10 additional communities this year, 10 more next year and extend to several traffic corridors by the end of 2005.
The carrier added its PCS network will cover approximately 90 percent of Canada’s population following the expansion.
