4G LTE from AT&T Available in Austin
Customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile broadband on new LTE compatible devices
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Austin, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T 4G LTE provides several benefits, including:
-- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile broadband
speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers can stream, download,
upload and game faster than ever before.
-- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the
processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how
long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent
the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming,
two-way video calling and telemedicine.
-- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource,
and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating
more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better
network experience.
-- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets.
"We continue to see demand for mobile broadband skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Austin responds to what customers want from their mobile experience -- more, faster, on the best devices," said Chris Penrose, South Texas vice president and general manager.
AT&T 4G LTE Devices
AT&T offers several 4G LTE-compatible devices, including:
-- HTC Vivid(TM)
-- Samsung Galaxy S(TM) II Skyrocket(TM)
-- LG Nitro HD
-- HTC Jetstream(TM) tablet
-- Samsung Galaxy(TM) Tab 8.9
-- AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G
-- AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G
-- AT&T USBConnect Adrenaline
AT&T's 4G LTE Network
AT&T will continue to expand its 4G LTE footprint in Austin over the coming months. AT&T has launched 4G LTE in 26 markets nationwide.
Even as AT&T 4G LTE expands, customers will be able to enjoy more consistent 4G speeds on their compatible device as they move in and out of LTE areas. Not only is AT&T deploying 4G LTE, it has also deployed fast HSPA+ technology throughout its mobile broadband network. HSPA+, when combined with enhanced backhaul, provides customers with 4G speeds. Customers of competitors who have transitioned to LTE without further speed upgrades to their existing networks are likely to see a jarring drop-off in speeds when they move out of LTE areas.
