AT&T expands 4G LTE to Phoenix, Hartford County, Conn., and more

AT&T* has expanded its 4G LTE network in Phoenix, bringing more customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T launched 4G LTE in Phoenix on January 5, 2012, and the expanded coverage is part of its ongoing rollout across the market.

AT&T 4G LTE coverage now includes parts of Avondale, Goodyear and Litchfield Park.

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.

AT&T invested nearly $700 million in its Arizona wireless and wireline networks from 2009 through 2012, with a focus on expanding 4G LTE mobile Internet coverage and enhancing the overall performance of its networks.

“We’ve seen positive response from customers on our 4G LTE launch, and as today’s expansion shows, we’re continuing our rollout of fast 4G LTE speeds to more areas of Phoenix,” said Jerry Fuentes, president of AT&T Arizona and New Mexico. “Consumers are asking for more from the technology they use in their daily lives, and we are investing to meet and exceed their needs.”

AT&T* has expanded its 4G LTE network in Hartford County, bringing more customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T launched 4G LTE in Hartford in September 2012, and the expanded coverage is part of its ongoing rollout across the market.

AT&T 4G LTE coverage now includes parts of Avon, Bloomfield, Enfield, Farmington, Granby, New Britain, Simsbury, Suffield, West Hartford, Windsor and Windsor Locks.
