Connecting the Future with 5G

Our network is evolving with the future of 5G and will be able to support more devices, with faster speeds and less delays to enhance our customers' experience. 5G will provide a greater capacity, reliability, extremely fast response times, and ultra-low latency.

In 2023-24, we're investing a record setting $160.0 million in wireless infrastructure which will allow us to upgrade more than 260 cell sites to 5G. At the end of 2022-23, 5G covered over 50% of Saskatchewan's population. By the end of 2023-24, 5G service will be available in Saskatchewan's nine major urban centres, along major highways, and in rural or resort areas. We'll also be expanding our 5G 3500MHz coverage, which is a mid-band spectrum that will improve SaskTel's 5G network by delivering additional speed and capacity, to more urban and rural communities in the coming years.

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