AT&T Brings 3G Mobile Broadband Network to Toccoa
Local Wireless Network Upgrade Extends Access to Advanced Products, Services and Applications.
AT&T* announced the availability of its 3G mobile broadband network in Toccoa. More than 100 square miles of new 3G coverage across Toccoa now opens the door to a new era of mobile services, devices and feature-rich audio and video content for area businesses and local residents. With 3G speeds, you can surf the web, download files faster than ever, and enjoy the very latest interactive mobile applications.
“Demand for wireless bandwidth is growing, whether it’s for sharing videos and photos with friends, watching a movie, checking the latest sports score and listening to music on a phone, netbook and or other mobile device while on the go,” said Paul Chambers, regional manager, AT&T external and legislative affairs. “With this expansion, our customers can continue to ride the leading edge of mobile broadband with emerging devices and thousands of mobile applications.”
The network extension is part of AT&T’s ongoing efforts to drive innovation and investment to deliver the benefits of smartphones and mobile broadband for customers. More smartphone customers have chosen AT&T over any other U.S. competitor, and AT&T is committed to driving continual enhancement of network capabilities to meet these customers’ ever-growing mobile broadband needs.
“Technology is such a big part of our lives both personally and in our businesses. Having infrastructure enhancements like AT&T’s 3G service here in Toccoa adds to our already high quality of life,” said Wendi Bailey, President and CEO of the Toccoa-Stephens Chamber of Commerce. “We’re thankful for AT&T’s capital investment in our community.”
AT&T matches its network investment with unsurpassed choice in the range of devices, services and applications compatible with its 3G network – the nation’s fastest, according to independent testing. AT&T offers a wide variety of devices from more than a dozen manufacturers, including handsets that are compatible with six different operating systems and five different e-mail applications. Our Media Mall 2.0 offers more than 90,000 content options, and customers can download additional applications over the Internet. Additionally, AT&T supports a community of more than 20,000 application developers via its devCentral portal.
Recently, AT&T announced plans to further upgrade its 3G network nationwide with HSPA 7.2 technology to deliver considerably faster mobile broadband speeds. The upgrades are planned to begin in the fourth quarter, with completion expected in 2011. Supporting this initiative is AT&T’s ongoing deployment of additional backhaul capacity to cell sites, which will support today’s unprecedented growth in mobile data traffic as well as the future demands of next-generation networks.
AT&T’s 3G mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most open and widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T’s 3G network is available in more than 350 major metropolitan areas. AT&T also offers 3G data roaming in more than 100 countries, as well as voice calling in more than 215 countries.
“More than ever before, customers look to wireless communications to stay in touch with family, friends and business colleagues,” said Keith Holmes, vice president and general manager for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets in Georgia. “We’re working to make this possible by adding new wireless coverage and offering exciting products to help our customers stay connected with their world, at home and on the go.”
