MONTREAL, Nov. 4 2009 -- Canadians can now access the country's
largest, fastest and most reliable wireless network with Bell Mobility's
launch today of its highly anticipated HSPA network and a range of new HSPA
smartphones and turbo sticks.
    "Bell is delivering high-speed wireless service to more Canadians in more
places than anyone else with the largest and fastest network available
anywhere in North America," said Wade Oosterman, President of Bell Mobility
and Chief Brand Officer for Bell. "Bell's new network is the most advanced in
the world, built for speed and reliability from the ground up. And we've
delivered this world-leading broadband access to thousands of small towns and
rural locations just as fast as we have to urban centres across Canada."
    Offering mobile speeds as high as 21 Megabits per second (21 Mbps), the
new network covers 1.2 million square kilometres, reaching approximately
20,000 Canadian towns and cities and 93% of the population. The new network
also supports international roaming in more than 200 countries around the
globe and across the United States too, thanks to a roaming agreement with
AT&T, the largest HSPA operator in the US.
    "Our all-IP (internet protocol) network infrastructure employs enough new
high-speed fibre to wrap halfway around the globe, ensuring that Bell
consumer and business clients have the best experience possible in Canadian
wireless," said Stephen Howe, Chief Technology Officer for Bell Mobility. "By
employing the very latest HSPA technology available, our brand-new network
delivers enhanced call clarity, better in-building coverage and fewer dropped
calls, while maximizing the capabilities of the latest HSPA mobile devices."
