Wireless offers wireless voice, data and messaging services across Canada. Wireless voice services are available in either postpaid or prepaid payment options. In addition, the network provides customers with advanced high-speed wireless data services, including mobile access to the Internet, wireless e-mail, digital picture and video transmission, mobile video, music downloading, video calling and two-way short messaging service (“SMS”).

Wireless markets its products and services under both the Rogers Wireless and Fido brands through an extensive nationwide distribution network of over 13,250 dealer and retail locations across Canada (excluding Rogers Retail locations, which is a segment of Cable), which includes approximately 3,250 locations selling subscriptions to service plans, handsets and prepaid cards and approximately 10,000 additional locations selling prepaid cards. Wireless’ nationwide distribution network includes: an independent dealer network; Rogers Wireless and Fido stores which, effective January 2007, are managed by Rogers Retail; major retail chains; and convenience stores. Wireless also offers many of its products and services through telemarketing and through a retail agreement with Rogers Retail, as well as on the Rogers.com and Fido e-business websites.

Wireless operates a digital wireless GSM network in the 1900 megahertz (“MHz”) and 850 MHz frequency bands across its national footprint. Prior to 2002, the company operated on analog and TDMA cellular networks, which were decommissioned during 2007. The GSM network, which operates seamlessly between the two frequencies, provides integrated voice and high-speed packet data transmission service capabilities and utilizes GPRS and EDGE technologies for wireless data transmission.

During 2007, Wireless deployed UMTS/HSPA technology, the next phase of the evolution of the GSM/EDGE platform, which delivers high mobility, high bandwidth wireless access for voice and data services across major urban centres.

Wireless holds 25 MHz of contiguous spectrum across Canada in the 850 frequency range and 60 MHz in the 1900 frequency range across the country, with the exception of southwestern Ontario, northern Québec, and the Yukon, Northwest and Nunavut territories, where Wireless holds 50 MHz in the 1900 frequency range.

Wireless also holds certain broadband fixed wireless spectrum in the 2300 MHz, 2500 MHz and 3500 MHz frequency ranges. In September 2005, Wireless, together with Bell Canada, announced the formation of an equally-owned joint venture called Inukshuk to construct a pan-Canadian wireless broadband network that will be based on the evolving World Interoperability for Microwave Access (“WiMAX”) standards. Both companies have contributed fixed wireless spectrum holdings to the joint venture, along with access to their respective cellular towers and network backhaul facilities. The fixed wireless network acts as a wholesale provider of capacity to each of the joint venture partners, who in turn market, sell, support and bill for their respective service offerings over the network.
