AT&T Customers Get More Mobile Broadband Coverage at the Jersey Shore
New Cell Sites Activated as Part of Ongoing AT&T Investment in Local Wireless Network
AVALON, N.J., July 14, 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 Avalon and Sea Isle that will enhance coverage for area residents, businesses and visitors to the Shore along Route 619 and portions of the shore line. With mobile broadband speeds, AT&T customers can surf the Web, download files faster, and enjoy the very latest interactive mobile applications.
Debra P. DiLorenzo, President & CEO, Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey, said AT&T's significant investment to improve its network will further bolster the Jersey Shore's reputation as a great place to live, work and vacation.
"High-tech expansions like this one help our business community, our local economy and our overall quality of life," DiLorenzo said. "Few businesses today are more competitive than the wireless industry. That level of competition results in investment and new technology, which delivers benefits to the entire community."
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.
"Delivering dependable wireless coverage for consumers and businesses needing to stay connected is our ultimate objective," said J. Michael Schweder, president, AT&T New Jersey. "AT&T's ongoing investments in the state, including those in Avalon and Sea Isle, will help ensure that our customers have access to the wireless services that help drive economic growth in New Jersey. And we have even bigger plans for the state's future. Our recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA will strengthen and expand our network in New Jersey. Once approved, this deal will enable AT&T to expand our deployment of the next generation of mobile broadband - 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) - from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to more than 97 percent."
"Whether driving to the shore, on the beach or on the bay our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience. As part of the Jersey shore community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide an enhanced customer experience and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we're accomplishing that," said Tiffany Baehman, vice president and general manager, AT&T greater Philadelphia market.
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 broadest 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 offers voice and data roaming coverage on more than 135 major cruise ships, as well as mobile broadband services in more than 130 countries.
AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network** with more than 24,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to more than 135,000 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.
