History
Rogers began with an Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) network, and later moved to the IS-136 standard before finally introducing a GSM network in 2001. At various times the service was sold under the names Cantel, Cantel AT&T, Rogers Cantel AT&T, and Rogers AT&T Wireless. Their network is GSM standard with development currently focused on UMTS, High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), and EUL service. Both the AMPS and IS-136 networks have been decommissioned; they were shut down on May 31, 2007.
Before the Rogers acquisition, the wireless business was known as Cantel Communications and Cantel AT&T.
