Manitoba's Premier announced this afternoon an expansion of high-speed wireless LTE coverage in southeastern Manitoba.

Brian Pallister says Bell MTS will build three new LTE-advanced cellular sites in Woodridge, Zhoda and Stuartburn to extend wireless service to these communities for the first time.

Pallister says better and faster service not only helps protect Manitobans in times of emergency but also improves daily life for those who work and call the area home.
