This week, Rogers announced the deployment of WiFi 7 technology for its Xfinity customers in Atlantic Canada. This initiative marks a Canadian first, positioning Rogers as the national pioneer of this cutting-edge wireless standard, renowned for its lightning-fast speeds and ultra-stable connections.
Following an initial introduction, the provider is now expanding this advanced technology to growing regions within the Atlantic provinces. Rogers Xfinity subscribers are the first in Eastern Canada to benefit. A phased nationwide rollout is planned for the coming months.
“Canadians deserve the best possible connectivity experience,” stated Bret Leech, President, Residential at Rogers. “WiFi 7 delivers more speed, better performance and better adaptability for an ultra-reliable, ultra-low-lag experience.”
Home Internet Usage Surges Over 200%
This technological advancement addresses an explosion in home demand. Internet usage in Canadian households has increased by over 200% in just five years. The average Canadian home now boasts more than 20 connected devices including computers, phones, tablets, smart gadgets, and gaming consoles creating a critical need for powerful, secure WiFi capable of simultaneously handling remote work, high-definition streaming, online gaming, and communications.
To support this WiFi 7 revolution, Rogers is introducing its most powerful Xfinity router to the region. Designed to fully leverage the new standard’s potential, it can deliver multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds over WiFi and manage over 200 devices simultaneously without performance loss. This state-of-the-art router is available exclusively with Rogers Xfinity plans and bundles.
The arrival of WiFi 7 in Atlantic Canada signifies more than just a speed boost. It promises a transformed home internet experience: seamless video calls, smooth online gaming, buffer free 8K streaming, and a responsive smart home, all without compromising network stability. Rogers is betting on this technology to solidify its Xfinity service as the essential digital backbone for hyper-connected Canadian households.
