Xplore is Canada’s First and the Fastest 5G Network for Rural Canada

What is 5G

In technical terms, 5G is the fifth generation of cellular networks, following 1G, 2G, 3G and the presently widespread 4G.More importantly, it is substantially faster than 4G, up to 100 times, with very low latency, opening up many more opportunities for people and businesses. In time, it could also replace wired networks as the backbone of ultra-fast internet connectivity.
