Customers to benefit from nation’s fastest 4G LTE network on the latest devices
Pocatello, Idaho, June 05, 2013
AT&T* has turned on the nation’s fastest 4G LTE network** in Pocatello, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G***. 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.
- 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.
“With 4G LTE in Pocatello, customers will be able to download, upload, stream and game faster than ever before on our 4G LTE network. As we see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, our ongoing investments in Pocatello are designed to give businesses, resident and visitors increased coverage and reliability,” said Jason Olson, Director of External Affairs, AT&T-Idaho.
“Not long ago our broadband speeds were lagging. Today we welcome the investment in wireless broadband at speeds as fast as a desktop to give our residents the service and speeds they deserve to run their businesses and everyday lives,” said Senator Jim Guthrie. “Our community will greatly benefit from increased investment in broadband infrastructure and embrace this investment in Eastern Idaho.”
AT&T invested more than $60 million in its Idaho wireless and wireline networks from 2010 through 2012, with a focus on expanding 4G LTE mobile Internet coverage and enhancing the overall performance of its networks.
