ROSWELL, N.M., Nov. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has
expanded the nation's most reliable 4G LTE network** to
Roswell, bringing customers the
latest generation of wireless network technology. This expanded
coverage is part of AT&T's ongoing 4G LTE rollout across
New Mexico.
Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE
provides, including:
- Faster speeds. LTE technology is
capable of delivering speeds faster than many other mobile Internet
technologies***. Customers can stream, download, upload and game
faster than ever before.
- Reliability. AT&T has the nation's
most reliable 4G LTE network.
- 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 than other wireless technologies, which means
faster processing time to move data through a network, such as
initiating a webpage or file download. 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.
"We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and
our 4G LTE network in Roswell
responds to what customers want from their mobile experience —
more, fast speeds, reliability, on the best devices," said
Jerry Fuentes, president of AT&T
Arizona and New Mexico.
AT&T's 4G Network
This expansion is part of AT&T's Project Velocity IP (VIP),
a multi-year plan to invest for growth, announced in Fall 2012.
Through this investment, AT&T is supporting its customers'
growing desire for high-speed Internet access and new mobile, app
and cloud-based services. As part of Project VIP, AT&T is
deploying small cell technology, macro cells and additional
Distributed Antenna Systems, which will increase the density of our
wireless network. The wireless network densification will
further improve network quality and increase spectrum
efficiency.
AT&T's innovation and investment have resulted in a
nationwide 4G network with ultra-fast speeds and a consistent user
experience. AT&T's focus to deliver the best possible mobile
Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection
technologies. AT&T operates more than 34,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot
Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and
provides access to more than 1 million globally through roaming
agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our
entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi
usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.

AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna
Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage
and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings,
hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are
challenging.
Over the past six years (2008 to 2013), AT&T invested more
than $140 billion into its wireless
and wireline networks, when you combine capital investment and
acquisitions of spectrum and wireless operations. Since 2008,
AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any
other public company. In a September
2014 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked
AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes," a ranking
AT&T has achieved for the third straight year.
