Canadian carrier Telus expects to launch a request for proposal (RFP) to select its 5G vendor later this year, the company’s president and CEO Darren Entwistle, told a conference call with investors.
“Despite the increasing excitement for 5G, we do not expect 5G to be deployed commercially in Canada before the second half of 2020, as we await clear timing on the critically important 3.5 GHz spectrum auction,” the executive said.
He also highlighted that Telus is collaborating with the government to ensure the security of future 5G networks.
