Bell and the government of New Brunswick have announced a joint initiative to expand wireless infrastructure across the province, which includes plans to build 10 new wireless sites to provide access to Bell’s 5G and 5G+ networks. Over the past decade, the Canadian telecom giant has invested $1.1 billion in broadband and wireless infrastructure within New Brunswick. According to the press release, Bell currently operates 515 wireless sites within the province, which Bell states covers 98 per cent of the province’s population. The 10 new sites will be located in Oak Hill, Hibernia Heights (Saint John County), Upham, South St. Norbert, Grand River, Harcourt, Bettsburg, McGraw Brook, Riceville (Madawaska County), and Saint-Quentin. According to Bell, the work won’t begin until 2026.
