AT&T 4G LTE Available In Greensboro And Winston-Salem

Customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices

GREENSBORO and WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., July 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Greensboro and Winston-Salem, 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 speeds faster
        than many other mobile Internet technologies. Customers can stream,
        download, upload and game faster than ever before.
    --  Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
        new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the HTC One(TM) X,
        Samsung Focus® 2, Nokia Lumia 900, Samsung Galaxy Note(TM), and Pantech
        Element(TM) tablet.
    --  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.

"Wireless technology is fueling innovation and collaboration in the business world at an amazing pace," said David Powell, president and CEO of the Piedmont Triad Partnership. "By bringing the fastest available wireless speeds to Greensboro and Winston-Salem, and to nearby communities including Lexington and Kernersville, AT&T is giving our region's businesses a critical tool to compete and win in the global marketplace."

"We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Greensboro and Winston-Salem responds to what customers want from their mobile experience -- more, faster, on the best devices," said Laurent Therivel, AT&T's VP/GM of Mobility and Consumer Markets in the Carolinas.

AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T customers have access to the nation's largest 4G network, covering more than 260 million people. According to recent third-party speed tests by PCWorld, AT&T 4G LTE speeds are faster than the competition. Testing in 13 cities showed that AT&T's combination of 4G LTE and HSPA+ technologies delivered faster download speeds than any other carrier tested.

Even as 4G LTE expands, AT&T customers are able to enjoy widespread, ultra-fast and consistent 4G speeds on their compatible device as they move in and out of LTE areas. AT&T has two 4G networks that work together for customers, LTE and HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul. With other carriers, when you travel outside of their LTE coverage area, you're on a much slower 3G network.

Limited 4G LTE availability in select markets. Deployment ongoing. 4G LTE device and data plan required. LTE is a trademark of ETSI. 4G speeds not available everywhere. Learn more about 4G LTE at att.com/network.
