Today SaskTel announced the launch of LTE cellular services in Lucky Lake and Conquest with the deployment of a small cell site. This new cell site is part of Phase 2 of the Government of Saskatchewan’s multi-phase initiative to provide rural communities with enhanced access to reliable cellular and high speed internet services.

“Our government is committed to improving connectivity for Saskatchewan’s rural communities,” Health Minister and Rosetown-Elrose MLA Jim Reiter, said. “SaskTel continues to invest in innovative solutions such as small cell sites, which will improve coverage in Lucky Lake and Conquest.”

“SaskTel continues to invest in its networks, so our customers get the service they expect and need.” Doug Burnett, SaskTel Acting President and CEO said. “With Saskatchewan’s largest LTE network, SaskTel customers can surf, stream, and download the content they want faster than ever before and from almost anywhere in the province.”
