Building 5G right.
Canada’s fastest 5G network is here.*
Full deployment over the next few years will enhance the lives of Canadians with applications that we can’t even imagine today, bringing generational changes to the way we work, live and play. The faster speeds, greater capacity and low latency of 5G will open immense opportunities to businesses including enabling the remote workforce, telehealth, self-driving vehicles and much more.
To fully realize the generational opportunities of 5G, massive investment in new wireless spectrum, technology and infrastructure is required, and Bell is leading the way to deliver Canadians the best 5G network in the world.

PCMag names Bell as Canada’s fastest network, including Canada’s fastest 5G network.*

Not all 5G networks are created equal. While many may say they have 5G, it takes a leader in network innovation to build Canada’s best 5G network. Bell has the world-class infrastructure required to provide the coverage, reliability and support needed to deliver the network of the future.
Why the future with 5G is transformational
Our 5G network enables theoretical peak download speeds of up to 1.7 Gbps in select areas of Western Canada, Ontario and Quebec for an incredible mobile experience (for example, expected average speeds in Greater Toronto Area are 69-385 Mbps). We will be rolling out more cities and in the meantime, you are on our superb 4G network. Future 5G technology deployments will have theoretical peak download speeds that are up to 100x faster than LTE. This means large files can be downloaded in seconds, videos can be streamed in the highest resolution, and users will benefit from an overall better experience.
5G will also provide faster Internet speeds to business users in remote areas that currently don’t have access to fibre technology.
Future 5G deployments will increase the capacity of connected devices by 1000x (from 1,000/km2 to 1 million per km2). This is particularly significant for Internet of Things deployments, such as smart cities, with capability to support millions of connected devices.
Plus, with increased data network capacity, overall speeds and connectivity are expected to be maintained, even during peak hours, regardless of how large an event or deployment.
Future 5G technology will enable the fastest wireless device connection, near real time, with lower latency. This opens up possibilities for new solutions or technologies on the mobile network where low latency and better reliability are a must.
Enhancing the future with 5G
5G will improve existing solutions in revolutionary ways, while enabling the development of transformative new applications.
