SaskTel has expanded its 5G network to Arborfield, Zenon Park, and nearly 100 other cell sites serving rural communities and highway corridors. This latest expansion is part of SaskTel‘s ongoing initiative to deliver next-generation and hyper-fast wireless connectivity to Saskatchewan residents and businesses.
“SaskTel’s 5G network is delivering for the people of Saskatchewan by transforming how they connect, work, and access vital services,” said Jeremy Harrison, Minister Responsible for SaskTel. “This cutting-edge technology goes beyond faster data speeds—it empowers individuals, businesses, and industries with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world. Whether it’s expanding access to remote healthcare, supporting online learning, or driving innovation in agriculture and transportation, 5G is delivering for our province’s economic growth and future prosperity.”

Currently, SaskTel’s 5G network can deliver data speeds of up to 1.2 Gigabits per second (Gbps), and as it matures the network will provide significantly faster speeds. Other future benefits of 5G will include massive network capacity and ultra-low latency, all of which will enable new use cases for emerging wireless technologies that will be the foundation that next-generation innovations will be built upon.
“We are thrilled to expand our advanced 5G network to more hometowns across Saskatchewan,” said Charlene Gavel, SaskTel President and CEO. “As Saskatchewan’s homegrown communications leader, SaskTel is committed to delivering high-quality communications solutions that allow our customers to connect to what matters most to them, no matter where they live in our province.”
The continued expansion of its 5G and fibre networks is a direct result of SaskTel’s commitment to ensure Saskatchewan residents have access to the digital tools and technologies needed to compete and succeed in the modern world.
In order to connect to its 5G network, SaskTel customers need to be within a 5G coverage area, have a 5G capable device that is certified for use on the SaskTel 5G network, and subscribe to a 5G compatible wireless plan.
