The network is expected to expand to over 20 more markets by the end of 2020.

Ottawa is among the first cities where Rogers is set to roll out its 5G network.

The company calls it the biggest tech evolution since the launch of wireless service in Canada.

The upgrade to the system means when 5G devises are available later this year, Ottawa, along with Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, will be compatible.

The Rogers 5G network will expand to over 20 more markets by the end of the year.

Rogers also says it is the exclusive Canadian member of the global 5G future forum. This is a first-of-its-kind 5G and mobile edge computing forum that includes Verizon, Vodafone and other international wireless companies.
