Rogers announced the expansion of Rogers Satellite. With the satellite-to-mobile texting service, Rogers now provides three times more coverage than any other Canadian wireless service provider. Now, when connected to Rogers Satellite, customers can send a text to friends when taking the ferry from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia, fishing off Haida Gwaii or crossing James Bay, with the expansion across bodies of water and along waterways off the Canadian coastline. In July, the company launched a beta trial open for all Canadians at no cost. Rogers Satellite initially supports text messaging and text-to-911 and will expand to support apps, data and voice services, including 911 voice services.
