"As part of the Montana community, our goal is for customers to have an extraordinary experience and enhanced coverage, and these six new sites help achieve that goal," said Jace Barbin, vice president and general manager, AT&T Rocky Mountain Region.
"Our communities and businesses need this expanded coverage as they conduct their daily business in Montana. We are grateful for the continuous investment in Montana that AT&T is making to improve their network so that our residents can rely on consistent and enhanced wireless coverage," said Senate President Jim Peterson.
The new sites will serve the following areas:
-- The new Manchester Road site is located on Interstate 15 approximately
seven miles west of Great Falls. It helps improve voice and wireless
data service along I-15 and in nearby Sun Prairie.
-- The new Belt site is located on Highway 87 approximately 17 miles east
of Great Falls. It helps bolster voice and wireless data service in the
town of Belt and along the highway.
-- The new Raynesford site is located approximately 15 miles east of the
new Belt site on Highway 87. It provides voice and wireless data
service along the highway in between the Belt and Stanford cell sites.

AT&T has the broadest international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, providing access to voice service in more than 225 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.
