Rogers Communications has launched Rogers Satellite, a new service that promises to keep Canadians connected in areas without cellular coverage. The company says it is the first provider in the country to support voice and video calling applications over satellite, including WhatsApp.
Customers can also access Google Maps, AccuWeather, X and more, with additional apps expected as developers update their software. Rogers is also introducing satellite-to-mobile connectivity for IoT businesses, enabling remote asset tracking and sensor monitoring. The service follows a beta trial that tallied more than one million text messages.
