Rogers Communications will implement Comcast’s cutting-edge network architecture, marking an industry-first collaboration aimed at enhancing internet speed, reliability, and reducing latency across Canada. This partnership advances Rogers’ commitment to delivering superior connectivity, similar to what Comcast provides to over 60 million U.S. homes and businesses. The initiative is part of Comcast’s global technology platform expansion, empowering service providers worldwide to deliver next-gen connectivity and entertainment experiences.
“We’re investing in our coast-to-coast wireline network, which connects over 60% of Canadian households, to deliver top-tier performance,” said Mark Kennedy, CTO of Rogers. “Our longstanding partnership with Comcast allows us to bring the best internet technology to Canadians.”
Comcast’s network design leverages artificial intelligence, cloud-based functions, and edge computing to enhance performance. AI anticipates and resolves issues before they affect users, while the cloud allows for efficient resource use and scalability during demand spikes. Delivering services closer to customers minimizes latency, enabling faster, more responsive experiences in streaming, gaming, and video conferencing.
These advancements give Rogers the ability to upgrade its network, integrating DOCSIS 4.0 technology to offer symmetrical multi-gig speeds, industry-leading reliability, and enhanced security. “With Comcast’s expertise, Rogers is well-positioned to deploy these next-gen solutions quickly,” Kennedy added.
Charlie Herrin, Comcast’s President of Technology, Product, and Experience, highlighted the global impact: “We revolutionized the entertainment experience with X1, moving the brains of the TV box to the cloud. Today, our technology is used globally, and this partnership with Rogers continues to break new ground.”
