NASHUA, N.H., June 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- At
AT&T1, we've
invested nearly $60 million in our
New Hampshire wireless and wired
networks during 2014-2016. These investments drive a wide range of
upgrades to reliability, coverage, speed and overall performance
for residents and businesses. They also improve critical services
that support public safety and first responders.
In 2016, AT&T made more than 90 wireless network upgrades
across New Hampshire, including
building new cell sites, adding network capacity to existing sites
and improving our high-speed Internet connections.
"We're investing to provide faster, more reliable, highly secure
connectivity. We want customers to have internet access at any
moment, from almost any device—anywhere," said Patricia Jacobs, president, AT&T New
England. "These continued investments bring local residents and
businesses a host of new opportunities."
The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) recently chose
AT&T to build a nationwide public safety broadband network. The
network will be dedicated to America's police, firefighters, EMS
personnel and other first responders when they need it. Should
New Hampshire opt-in to the
FirstNet network, we will build upon our current and planned
investments with a dedicated focus on the state's first
responders.
And we would expect to make a significant investment to upgrade
and maintain New Hampshire's
FirstNet network over the next 25 years, bringing your first
responders the coverage, value and experience they expect.
