BOSTON, June 26, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ —
ATT* is offering wireless users in the greater Boston and Providence areas a bird’s-eye view of ATT’s wireless network enhancements. Beginning today, local ATT customers can see area network enhancements for the nation’s largest 4G network by simply visiting the new “focus: Boston-Providence” microsite. Updated weekly, the microsite provides an unparalleled view, unlike any other in the industry, of what ATT is doing to enhance the customer experience.
Visitors to the microsite will see a map of the area – which spans from greater Boston out to Worcester, up to southern New Hampshire and down through Cape Cod and Providence – and they are prompted to select the city or town they’re most interested in exploring. The majority of ATT’s mobile Internet traffic in this territory runs over enhanced backhaul — or the cables that connect sites to the overall ATT network — to provide customers with 4G speeds.
The hyper-local map displays neighborhood-level network enhancements made by ATT since the beginning of 2011. Enhancements include new cell sites, mobile Internet speed upgrades, capacity upgrades and network connection upgrades. The focus: Boston-Providence (
http://att.com/BostonNetwork ) microsite interactive map is also optimized for most mobile devices.
In the greater Boston-Providence area**, from the beginning of 2011 through mid-June 2012, ATT has:
Built nearly 25 new cell sites, providing more bars in the area.
Upgraded nearly 45 cell sites, providing faster mobile Internet speeds.
Added nearly 800 carriers to increase spectrum on area cell sites, providing extra capacity to reduce dropped calls and improve service quality at busy times.
Expanded more than 1,200 network connections with fiber lines at area cell sites, helping reduce dropped calls and enable 4G*** speeds.
In addition to the Boston-Providence area, ATT has created microsites for: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, South Florida, St. Louis, Tampa-St. Petersburg and Washington, DC. All sites are accessible at the “focus: ATT” landing page.
