Today SaskTel announced the launch of a small cell site in the Village of Borden which will improve LTE cellular services in the community and surrounding area. The new cell site is part the Government of Saskatchewan’s Wireless Saskatchewan initiative to provide rural communities with enhanced access to reliable cellular and high speed internet services.

“I am very pleased to see our government bring improved communications services to Borden. I know the improvements that this new cellular tower will bring will benefit the entire community,” said Randy Weekes, MLA for Biggar – Sask Valley.

“SaskTel continues to invest in its networks, so our customers get the service they expect and need.” Doug Burnett, SaskTel President and CEO said. “With Saskatchewan’s largest LTE network, SaskTel customers can surf, stream, and download the content they want faster than ever before and from almost anywhere in the province.”

See the December 2017 news release for more information on the Government of Saskatchewan’s full announcement outlining the four-phase initiative.
