AT&T launches 4G LTE in two new markets - 41 total
AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Lawrenceburg, Nashville and Davidson County, including surrounding Maury, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson Counties, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T 4G LTE provides several benefits, including:
AT&T invested nearly $1.3 billion in its Tennessee wireless and wireline networks from 2009 through 2011 with a focus on improving the company’s mobile Internet coverage and overall performance of its networks. AT&T Tennessee state president Gregg Morton said his company’s local investment creates many advantages for those in Nashville and surrounding counties. “This 4G LTE launch is great news for Tennessee and is further evidence that when our elected leaders create an environment that favors investment, consumers benefit. The investment we’ve made to our AT&T networks alone has equated to nearly $1.3 billion over last three years, so bringing 4G LTE here is the latest example of this significant infrastructure investment,” said Morton. “Today’s announcement is proof that consumers benefit when we create policies that favor investment in our state,” said House Speaker Beth Harwell. “AT&T’s investment builds on our reputation as a strong region for business investment.” “As our economy continues to recover, it is critical that businesses invest in infrastructure to support that recovery,” said House Democratic Caucus Chair Mike Turner. “This is an investment in our future and in an information-driven economy, the ability for all the people of Nashville to have access to the latest communications technology is critical.” “Nashville has long had a reputation as a progressive city that is a great place to start or expand a business,” said Ralph Schulz, President & CEO, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. “This announcement serves to underscore that we are open for business with the most modern wireless infrastructure to support our business community.” “We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Nashville responds to what customers want from their mobile experience — more, faster, on the best devices. Our Nashville customers now have our fastest available speeds with 4G LTE, and customers across Tennessee are enjoying fast speeds on the nation’s largest 4G network,” said Chris Percy, vice president and general manager of Mobility and Consumer Markets for AT&T Tennessee, Kentucky and southern Indiana. AT&T has also launched 4G LTE in Lawrenceburg, Tenn.Related Links: |
