Rogers Wireless has begun a Canada-wide deployment of a 21 Mbps High Speed Packet Access Plus (HSPA+) wireless network. Following the successful expansion of its high-speed network to 7.2 Mbps last year, Rogers will, starting in August, progressively increase wireless network download speeds up to 21 Mbps in the Greater Toronto Area, and expand over the coming months to other cities across the country.

"With the exponential growth of smartphones, application stores, mobile Internet sticks and embedded laptops and netbooks, Canadians are embracing wireless data and services like never before," said Rob Bruce, President, Rogers Wireless, in a prepared statement.
