SaskTel announced that it has teamed up with eero, an Amazon company, to launch SaskTel Whole Home Wi-Fi service and bring next-generation Wi-Fi connectivity to households across the province. With Whole Home Wi-Fi, SaskTel broadband customers can say goodbye to Wi-Fi dead spots, dropped connections, or buffering – even when the whole family is online.
“Our government understands how important a reliable broadband connection has become, and I’m pleased with SaskTel’s work to enhance their customers’ ability to take advantage of all the opportunities the digital world has to offer,” said Dustin Duncan, Minister Responsible for SaskTel.
“We’re excited to team up with eero to deliver an unparalleled Wi-Fi experience to our broadband customers across the province,” said Charlene Gavel, SaskTel President and CEO. “Whether you’re in a virtual meeting, gaming with friends online, or learning remotely, our Whole Home Wi-Fi service will deliver fast and reliable connectivity throughout your home.”
“At eero, we’ve had the privilege of bringing fast, reliable, and secure wifi to customers around the world. That’s why we’re thrilled to work with SaskTel to bring simple, fast, and reliable connectivity to customers in Saskatchewan,” said Mark Sieglock, eero EVP, Software and Services.
Powered by eero Pro 6E, SaskTel Whole Home Wi-Fi service comes with a rich set of features and benefits, including:
Wi-Fi that works smarter with TrueMesh. With TrueMesh technology, eero dynamically finds the ideal path for data to pass through a network, limiting interference and helping ensure customers have a fast, reliable internet experience.
Wi-Fi 6e devices support fast connectivity for more devices. Wi-Fi 6 is the 6th generation standard of Wi-Fi technology. It supports faster speeds and is more efficient than previous generations. Wi-Fi 6e-enabled routers can support a larger number of devices without much loss in internet speed or quality as compared to previous generations.
Advanced online security comes standard with eero and SaskTel. Every eero device comes with world-class encryption and security protocols. And for more advanced security, eero Secure (included with your eero device through SaskTel) protects your growing online life, helping to keep your family’s personal information, connected devices, and network protected from online threats.
