Today, SaskTel announced that High Speed Fusion Internet, a fixed wireless LTE-TDD service, is now available to new subscribers being serviced from the following tower locations: Calder, Pangman, Regina Beach, South Corman Park, Spy Hill, Strasbourg, Waldron and Warman.

“High Speed Fusion Internet service will provide customers in these 8 tower locations with more than twice the speed that was possible with our former WBBI service,” said Ron Styles, SaskTel President and CEO. “We were the first to offer this service in North America and based on initial feedback we have received, we are very confident that customers will be happy with the upgraded service.”
