09 April 2024 - 8:30PM
Rogers Communications today announced it is collaborating with
CableLabs to bring the world’s best technology to Canadians.
Located in Calgary at Rogers Barlow campus, CableLabs will be
deepening its expertise in Canada through “CableLabs North,”
bringing together global industry partners and Rogers technologists
to collaborate on network technology solutions. Together, the teams
will develop new innovative applications and provide customers
seamless connections in and out of the home or workplace.
“As the largest operator of coast-to-coast wireless and wireline
networks in Canada, we are proud to invest in research and bring
the next frontier of networks to Canadians,” said Ron McKenzie,
Chief Technology and Information Officer, Rogers. “CableLabs North
will be on the forefront of innovation, bringing together the best
and brightest minds from around the world to collaborate on the
future of network technology and deliver a more seamless experience
to Canadians.”
CableLabs North will develop technology to deliver 5G using
cable network infrastructure to bring customers even faster speeds
and more capacity. Other areas of focus for Rogers include its
rollout of 10G, the future of cable internet that will bring
multi-gigabit speeds up to 10 times faster than today with enhanced
reliability and ultra-low latency.
“CableLabs is excited to work closely with Rogers to make
‘CableLabs North’ a reality. The value of this deep collaboration
cannot be overstated as it will offer an opportunity to engage with
innovators at Rogers on initiatives that will transform our
industry,” said Mark Bridges, Chief Technology Officer,
CableLabs.
For over 30 years, CableLabs has been a world-leader in
future-forward R&D, bringing together industry leaders,
including Comcast, Charter, Cox, J:Com and Vodafone, to share
knowledge and develop scalable network standards and technology.
The organization has developed technology and over 800 patents that
help deliver faster speeds and more reliability on cable networks
to meet consumers’ evolving expectations.
Today’s announcement is part of Rogers ongoing commitment to
bring global innovation and the best networks to Canadians.
Last year, Rogers closed its transformative merger with Shaw,
bringing together Canada’s largest and best 5G network with a
national coast-to-coast wireline company with fibre-powered
internet available to over 60% of Canadian households.
