- As with rival BCE, Canada's Rogers Communications (RCI -0.4%) has reached a reciprocal LTE-M roaming agreement with AT&T (T +0.9%).
- Customers of each company will be able to roam on the other's LTE-M networks in the U.S. and Canada, easing deployments for customers using Internet of Things tech for asset tracking, telematics, wearables and other solutions.
- Rogers notes it's the first national carrier to light up Narrow-Band IoT in Canada, allowing for stationary devices to send small amounts of data over long distances at low power.
- “More and more of our enterprise customers are launching IoT applications across international boundaries," says AT&T's Chris Penrose. "Having access to the Rogers LTE-M network across Canada will help them simplify deployments and scale their North American IoT plans."
