AT&T
Expands Wireless Capacity for 3G Mobile Broadband Network in Manhattan
and Throughout NYC
Additional Spectrum Allocated
for 3G Voice and Data Applications
New York, New York, June
28, 2010
AT&T* today announced
the completion of a local initiative to increase the wireless capacity
of its third generation (3G) mobile broadband network in Manhattan as well
as the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. As a result of this upgrade, customers
in these areas are expected to experience improved 3G wireless voice and
data connectivity and performance, especially during peak hours.
The network enhancement
includes the addition of new layers of frequency, also known as “carriers,”
to more efficiently manage available spectrum and increase 3G capacity.
The additions have been applied to nearly all cell sites in Manhattan and
in other areas as needed throughout the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn. The
result is an increased allocation of network resources for AT&T’s 3G
network to support ever-growing demand for mobile broadband services.
“Our goal is pretty simple:
in the city that never sleeps, we’re working 24/7 to make sure our customers
have a great experience every time they make a call, check e-mail, download
a song or video, or surf the Internet on their AT&T device,” said Tom
DeVito, vice president and general manger for AT&T in NY and NJ. “Adding
more capacity to cell sites is just one way we are doing to that.”

AT&T

by a significant ramp in consolidated revenue growth, led by improved results
in wireless and enterprise, and further expansion of wireless and consolidated
margins. This marked AT&T's 12th consecutive quarter of double-digit
growth in adjusted earnings per share.
"We
delivered an excellent first quarter and a solid start to the year," said
Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman and chief executive officer. "Revenue
growth continues to ramp, we have good momentum across key growth areas,
major cost initiatives are on track, and our operational results reinforce
the confidence we have in our outlook.
"AT&T's

and interactivity," Stephenson said. "To that end, as we deliver strong
earnings and return substantial value to shareowners, we are also taking
important steps to expand our networks and product sets to drive continued
growth in wireless, broadband and IP-based services.
"AT&T
is moving quickly to create the next generation of wireless," Stephenson
said. "The future of wireless has never been more promising, and I am very
pleased that through our transaction with Aloha Partners and our successful
bids in the recently completed auction, we have assembled the industry's
premier, high-quality wireless spectrum position. This spectrum will provide
a terrific foundation for new wireless and integrated services, and it
significantly advances AT&T's long-term growth potential."
