The Atlas of Canada’s Wireless Data Network map illustrates the availability of LTE and 5G wireless data service across Canada in 2024. It features an inset map and a bar graph that provide additional insights. The inset map shows the percentage of population in each province with access to 5G service. The bar graph shows the percent of population without access 5G service by year, dating back to 2020. The Atlas of Canada Wireless Data Network map is shown at a scale of 1:6 000 000. It is part of the new Atlas of Canada series, which features a shared look and feel across all map products to ensure consistency in design and layout. This map supports the Communication and Transportation theme, one of five core themes featured in the renewed Atlas of Canada web presence at atlas.gc.ca. The common design helps make Atlas of Canada products easier to read, compare, and use together across the Atlas collection.
