Rogers expands satellite-to-mobile roaming to Japan, Australia and New Zealand

Rogers has expanded its satellite-to-mobile roaming coverage to Japan, Australia and New Zealand, according to Cartt, a Canadian telecom industry publication. The move extends the reach of satellite connectivity to Rogers customers travelling in those three countries.

Satellite-to-mobile service lets a regular phone connect to a satellite when it is outside the range of cell towers. Roaming means using your Canadian carrier’s service while abroad. Rogers customers who travel to Japan, Australia or New Zealand now have satellite coverage available there.
