AT&T Expands Mobile Broadband Coverage in Lake Shore
Additional Spectrum Expected to Improve Connectivity and Performance of Mobile Broadband Data and Voice Connectivity
LAKE SHORE, Md., Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its continuing network investment to support growing demand for advanced mobile devices and applications, AT&T* today announced the activation of new mobile broadband cell sites in Lakeshore, near Bodkin Creek on Pinehurst Harbour Way, that will enhance coverage for area residents and businesses. With mobile broadband speeds, AT&T customers can surf the Web, download files faster, and enjoy the very latest interactive mobile applications.
The new cell sites are one part of AT&T's ongoing efforts to drive investment and innovation to deliver the nation's best, most advanced mobile broadband experience for customers. With the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, AT&T provides accelerated mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilities.
"As part of the Lake Shore community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide an enhanced customer experience. Our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we're accomplishing that," said J. Michael Schweder, president of AT&T Mid-Atlantic. "In addition, our recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA will strengthen and expand our network in Lake Shore. If approved, this deal means that we'll be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband - 4G LTE - from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to more than 97 percent."
"We want you to have an extraordinary experience in Lake Shore and across the country, whether you are sharing videos or photos with friends, or staying connected as you enjoy a hike or a fishing trip near local rivers," said Rob Forsyth, vice president and general manager for AT&T in the greater Washington/Baltimore area. "Smartphones, tablets and laptops are continuing to drive unprecedented demand for wireless access everywhere. We're investing in a combination of technologies right here in Lake Shore to meet these needs and ensure an advanced broadband experience for all our customers."
AT&T's mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, providing access to voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.
AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network** with nearly 27,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to nearly 190,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.
