Rogers Xfinity Unveils Storm-Ready WiFi

Rogers has launched Rogers Xfinity Storm-Ready WiFi, an innovative new product designed to keep customers connected when there is an outage. 

Rogers Xfinity Storm-Ready WiFi brings Rogers advanced network technology together with a device that automatically switches to a cellular backup connection when there’s a network or power outage.
