AT&T Network Upgrades Significantly Improve Burlington Wireless Network Performance
2009 Network Investments to Date Providing Area Customers with Enhanced Voice Calling Experience.
AT&T* released 2009 Burlington network investment and expansion details that have contributed to area customers benefiting from the nation’s fastest 3G network and an unsurpassed low dropped call rate – one of the most common measures of wireless reliability – according to drive test data collected by third-party independent wireless engineering firm Global Wireless Solutions (GWS).
“AT&T is committed to providing our customers with the very best possible network experience to complement our line-up of the most popular wireless devices that is unmatched in the industry,” said Alison Hall, vice president and general manager, AT&T Mobility & Consumer Markets for the Carolinas. “Since the beginning of 2007 through the 3rd quarter of this year, we have invested more than $2 million in the Burlington network to advance our goal of providing customers with a wireless experience that is second to none.”
More than twice the number of smartphone customers have chosen AT&T over its nearest competitor and smartphone customers enjoy the fastest data speeds in the nation. AT&T is investing billions of dollars in its wireless network this year companywide to meet the growth of data demands. Burlington area network enhancements include initiatives to improve speed, capacity and coverage.
AT&T 2009 network enhancements in Burlington to date include:
Plans to activate a new cell site to add to the nearly 20 existing sites, 100% of those sites are 3G.
Completed various network capacity upgrades to the cell sites and switches to support higher volumes of voice and data traffic, including the addition of more than 10 T1 lines to add more voice and data capacity between the cell site and routing switch.
“North Carolina policymakers, and other state leaders, continually strive to create a business environment that invites investment in advanced technologies and stimulates the economy,” said Cynthia Marshall, President, AT&T North Carolina. “Their efforts have helped promote competition and have benefited consumers statewide. “
In 2010, AT&T plans to roll out even faster 3G speeds in 25 of the top 30 markets with deployment of HSPA 7.2. This technology doubles the theoretical peak speed of today’s 3G network. As with all wireless connections, typical real-world speeds will be less than the theoretical maximum, and will vary based on a number of factors. AT&T is currently planning for field trials of next generation LTE wireless technology. AT&T expects LTE field trials to begin next year, with deployment beginning in 2011, which is when manufacturers expect a wide variety of compatible devices to be available.
The latest GWS data confirms a national dropped call rate of only 1.32 percent and that AT&T has the nation’s fastest 3G network.
