ATT Adds Nearly 100 New Sites
Today AT&T Mobility announced a plan to expand its 3G (third-generation) network in Florida, with 100 cell sites to be constructed in 2009. Nearly 600 sites will be added throughout the Southeastern United States, helping AT&T customers keep up with today’s fast-paced and increasingly mobile world. According to recent data, AT&T offers America’s fastest 3G Network.
AT&T’s 3G Network provides users with downlink speeds ranging between 700 kilobits per second and 1.7 megabits per second. Uplink speeds range between 500 kilobits per second and 1.2 megabits per second. With AT&T’s advanced 3G Network, users can utilize state of the art technology, such as AT&T Video Share, which allows users to share live video during a wireless call.
"Our mission is to connect people with their world, everywhere they live and work, and to do it better than anyone else," said the President of AT&T Florida, Marshall Criser, III. "The investment we're making in Florida will help us fulfill this vision."
Since 2006, AT&T Mobility has invested nearly $725 million in its Florida network. In 2009, 3G service will be expanded in Melbourne, Cape Canaveral, Daytona Beach, Gainesville, Jacksonville and Tallahassee. In Ocala, St. Augustine, Panama City, Palatka, Palm Coast and Lake City AT&T’s 3G service will be introduced for the first time.
