First LTE/HSPA+ Devices Arrive in AT&T Stores Aug. 21
AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G and AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G Eligible for $50, 5GB Data Plans
DALLAS, Aug. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Key Facts
-- The AT&T* USBConnect Momentum 4G** and AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G**
will be available in stores and online Aug. 21.
-- AT&T also confirmed data pricing for data-only mobile broadband devices
on the company's forthcoming LTE network.
-- Customers will be able to choose 5 gigabytes of data for a monthly rate
of $50 with any additional data consumed available for $10 per gigabyte.
-- The LTE-upgradeable AT&T USBConnect Adrenaline will also be able to be
updated to LTE beginning Aug. 26.
Data Plan Options
As the first devices that will be able to take advantage of AT&T's future 4G LTE network arrive in AT&T stores, customers who choose the AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G and AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G will be able to select the same $50 for 5 GB data option as many current USBConnect or Mobile Hotspot customers do today.
Also capable of 4G speeds on AT&T's HSPA+ network, the USBConnect Momentum 4G, Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G will be the only LTE devices in the United States to have a 4G/HSPA+ network with enhanced backhaul to fall back to if a customer moves outside of LTE coverage.
Already in customers' hands, the AT&T USBConnect Adrenaline is LTE-upgradeable, containing an LTE chipset that can be enabled with a software update. Those customers can visit http://www.att.com/adrenaline to download that update beginning Aug. 26.
LTE Roadmap
AT&T recently announced plans to roll out 4G LTE in five markets - Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio - later this summer. Customers with compatible devices and 4G LTE coverage in those markets will be able to enjoy access to 4G LTE speeds as AT&T's 4G LTE is turned up.
As AT&T rolls out 4G LTE, customers outside of its 4G LTE coverage areas will still have access to AT&T's fast HSPA+ network. When combined with enhanced backhaul, HSPA+ enables 4G speeds that are up to four times faster than AT&T's already fast mobile broadband speeds. Because AT&T has taken the extra step of deploying HSPA+ technology with enhanced backhaul, its customers will have access to consistently fast mobile broadband speeds when moving in and out of 4G LTE areas.
By the end of 2011, AT&T plans to offer 4G LTE to customers in at least 15 markets, covering 70 million Americans.
