What is EORN?
Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) strives to fuel economic development and growth by working regionally to improve and leverage broadband access and cell connectivity. EORN is a non-profit organization created by the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC).
This announcement is part of the EORN Cell Gap Project, a $300 million public-private partnership to improve and expand cellular services across rural eastern Ontario.
Through this partnership, Rogers is building more than 330 new wireless sites and upgrading over 300 existing sites with 5G by 2025 – bringing vital infrastructure to more municipalities and Indigenous communities in eastern Ontario. To date, 13 new wireless sites are in-service, with upgrades completed on 297 existing sites.
This wireless expansion project is enhancing public safety and providing peace of mind for all residents so they can call emergency services and use navigation apps along the rural and remote roadways in eastern Ontario.
We are committed to providing a seamless wireless experience across Eastern Ontario and making long-term investments to ensure all Canadians can access Canada’s largest 5G wireless network.
