AI identifies and resolves network issues before they affect users, while the cloud allows for more efficient use of network resources and the ability to scale capacity during demand spikes. By delivering services closer to end-users, the design reduces latency and ensures the highest-quality connections for activities such as streaming, gaming, and video conferencing, Rogers explained. "We're continually investing in our national, coast-to-coast wireline network, which connects over 60 percent of Canadian households, to deliver the best network performance to our customers," said Rogers' Chief Technology Officer.
