AT&T* company announced today that it has completed a key initiative in its ongoing efforts to enhance the wireless capacity and performance of its mobile broadband network throughout New Jersey.
The network enhancement adds new layers of frequency, also known as "carriers," to more efficiently manage available spectrum and increase mobile broadband capacity at local cell sites. The expansion helps manage ever-growing demand for mobile broadband services by allocating more network resources for AT&T's mobile broadband network.
"Delivering dependable wireless coverage for consumers and businesses needing to stay connected is our ultimate objective," said J. Michael Schweder, AT&T President New Jersey. "AT&T's ongoing investments in the state, including those in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, will help ensure that our customers have access to the wireless services that help drive economic growth in New Jersey. And we have even bigger plans for New Jersey's future. .Our recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA will strengthen and expand our network in New Jersey. Once approved, this deal will enable AT&T to expand our deployment of the next generation of mobile broadband – 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) – from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to more than 97 percent."
Areas of new enhanced wireless capacity in Monmouth and Ocean Counties affected by today's announcement include: Atlantic Highlands, Barnegat, Bayville, Beach Haven, Beachwood, Belmar, Forked River, Jackson, Lakewood, Little Silver, Long Branch, Manahawkin, Manasquan, Neptune, Point Pleasant, Red Bank, Seaside Heights, Tinton Falls and Toms River. The initiative has also strengthened wireless capacity along the Garden State Parkway and well-traveled Jersey Shore roads, including Routes 9, 18, 33, 34, 35, 37, 71, 72, and 195.
"Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience. As part of the Jersey shore community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide an enhanced customer experience and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we're accomplishing that," said Tom DeVito, vice president and general manager for AT&T in New Jersey and New York.
The AT&T mobile broadband network affected by today's announcement is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, providing access to voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.
AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network** with more than 24,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to more than 135,000 hotspots 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.
