SaskTel owns and operates Saskatchewan's largest 5G network*, covering nearly 90% of Saskatchewan's population. Our network is continuously evolving with the future of 5G and will be able to support more devices, with faster speeds, and improved responsiveness to enhance our customers' experience. 

In 2025-26, we're investing $111.5 million in wireless infrastructure which will allow us to construct 5 new cell sites and upgrade more than 170 cell sites serving rural, resort and First Nations communities as well as major highway corridors and other rural areas to 5G technology. We also plan to expand our 5G 3500MHz coverage, which is a mid-band spectrum that will improve the 5G network by delivering additional speed and capacity across the province in the coming years.

*Based on number of 5G enabled towers, percentage of population covered, and portion of landmass covered, as of December 2024.

5G is available Canada-wide in select locations and will continue to expand. View 5G coverage.

How 5G helps your business

Extremely fast speeds

Our 5G network is extremely fast, delivering blazing speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps allowing you to stream, download, and upload huge quantities of data in no time at all. 5G is available Canada-wide in select locations and will continue to expand.

Internet of Things (IoT) support

5G increases the number of devices that can communicate on the network. This allows for Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, which refers to physical devices that are connected to the Internet. Smart services that can be managed by a smart phone app are powered by IoT devices.

Lower latency

With 5G, SaskTel is revolutionizing the way we deliver our network and broadband solutions. Lower latency means better connections between your business and the network. Businesses that are looking to start using cutting-edge services, particularly things like driverless vehicles, augmented reality, or virtual reality, will benefit from lower latency.

How can I get 5G?

You'll need a SaskTel 5G-certified device, a 5G-compatible rate plan, and be in 5G coverage to take advantage of 5G speeds. When you're not in 5G coverage, your SaskTel 5G-certifed device will operate on our reliable LTE network.
