TELUS invests $30 million in Montreal - Seite 2

5G Lab with ÉTS: TELUS recently signed an agreement with ÉTS and iBwave to re-imagine how wireless networks inside buildings are designed and deployed and to innovate in the construction industry. The agreement will lead to the creation of a 5G laboratory at ÉTS that will serve as a meeting place for researchers, students and companies to drive innovation in telecommunications, engineering and architecture through the use of fifth-generation networks.

Ongoing investments for a better future

TELUS plans to invest $81.2 billion in Canada by 2027, including $11.5 billion in the Quebec economy, for its infrastructure, operations and spectrum licensing and to improve the coverage, speed and reliability of its world-class networks. In addition to its investments in its networks, the TELUS team is driven by a desire to bring positive social changes to the communities where it operates. Since 2000, TELUS and our active and retired team members have contributed over 300,000 volunteer hours and donated over $33 million in support of local organizations, including Academos, Dans la Rue and Le Phare.

In addition, TELUS is now a major partner of CF Montréal. As part of this multi-year agreement, the two organizations will help thousands of kids and adolescents by giving them free access to soccer camps and offering sports scholarships to encourage athletes to develop their skills. Last April, TELUS and the Old Brewery Mission, announced the launch of the newest Health for Good mobile health clinic, working together to help marginalized Montreal residents with free healthcare services as well as social and housing-related support. 

The investments announced in this news release reflect TELUS’ overall capital expenditure guidance for 2023, which was released on February 9, 2023, during the company’s fourth financial quarter of 2022.
