As the city filed it

This report aims to provide an update on the progress and implementation timeline for the Rogers 5G wireless implementation project within the TTC subway tunnels. This project, spearheaded by Rogers in collaboration with the TTC, involves designing and installing more than 500 kilometres of fiber, coaxial, and power cables, along with installing approximately 350 wayside signal amplifier locations within the tunnels. In addition to these critical tunnel infrastructure upgrades, station-level equipment at 45 stations must also be enhanced to ensure seamless cellular connectivity throughout the subway system.

As of now, 38% of tunnel sections are equipped with 5G wireless cellular service, including key segments, such as Vaughan Metropolitan Centre to Sheppard West and St George to Bloor-Yonge on Line 1 as well as St George to Bloor-Yonge on Line 2. The remaining tunnel sections, covering portions of Lines 1, 2, and 4, are on track for completion by the end of 2026. Work is underway on Lines 1 and 2, with significant progress being made to ensure that the entire subway system will benefit from the advanced 5G connectivity by the projects conclusion. To ensures seamless connectivity for everyone within the subway system, the neutral host solution being implemented allows access to all mobile users, no matter their carrier.
