In the first phase of Rogers 5G rollout, the network is using 2.5 GHz spectrum in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal to help increase network capacity. In the second phase of the rollout later this year it will expand to use 600 MHz 5G spectrum, which is best suited to carry wireless data across long distances and through dense urban buildings, creating more consistent and higher quality coverage in both remote areas and smart cities. In the future, Rogers will also start deploying 3.5 GHz spectrum and dynamic spectrum sharing, which will allow 4G spectrum to be used for 5G.
