"AT&T is committed to delivering a top notch network experience each time
a customer makes a call, reads an e-mail or sends a text message on an AT&T
wireless device," said
The enhancement of 3G technology to more than 120 cell sites expands
coverage of AT&T's 3G network in many areas including:
The network upgrade provides students, faculty and visitors to
The 3G network was also been expanded along the Garden State Parkway and Routes 9, 33, 34, 35, 37, 70, 71, 72, 88, 138 and 180.
Benefits of the AT&T 3G Network
AT&T's 3G network provides the simultaneous delivery of voice and data -- a capability not offered by all wireless providers. With a compatible 3G device, consumers connect to razor-sharp clips through CV, an on-demand streaming video service, and can quickly download games, pictures and the latest music, entertainment, news and weather through MEdia(TM) Net, the company's mobile Internet portal. The 3G network can also allow customers to take advantage of groundbreaking services such as AT&T Video Share which allows users to share live video over wireless phones while carrying on a voice call. Road warriors can use their device as a wireless modem for their laptop and dial into a conference call at the same time.
"This area of
corporate applications. All that's required is a LaptopConnect card or a laptop with embedded 3G service, software and an AT&T data plan."
AT&T uses HSPA/UMTS (High Speed Packet Access/Universal Mobile Telephone System) technology, which is based on the world standard GSM (Global Systems for Mobile Communications).
HSPA is the most advanced GSM data technology, providing average downlink speeds between 700-1700 kilobits per second (Kbps) for advanced devices. These enhanced speeds allow AT&T customers to download a 5 MB file in 25 seconds, a three minute song (about 3MB) in 15 seconds and a Ringtone that might take one minute and 45 seconds over slower mobile technologies -- only takes an average of 25 seconds on AT&T's 3G network.
With the new addition of HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) technology, AT&T customers can enjoy uplink speeds between 500 Kbps and 1.2 Mbps.
Equally as important as the network is the device through which a customer experiences it. AT&T's handset portfolio in company-owned stores is more than 75 percent 3G-capable -- and will be even more enticing with a fresh selection of 3G-enabled smartphones in the summer and fall of 2008.
AT&T's 3G network is now available in 280 U.S. major metropolitan areas. The company will deliver 3G service to nearly 350 leading U.S. markets by the end of 2008.
Customers who use a GSM phone, such as those offered by AT&T, can take their device and browse the Web and perform other data functions in more than 145 countries. They can make a wireless phone call in 200 countries and territories or on 75 cruise ships worldwide.
