AT&T has announced its wireless network expansion plans for Mississippi in the coming year.
The planned sites are part of AT&T's ongoing expansion of its third-generation (3G) network, the nation's fastest 3G network, according to recent data compiled by leading independent wireless research firms.
"Our mission is to connect people with their world, everywhere they live and work, and to do it better than anyone else," said Mayo Flynt, President, AT&T Mississippi.
"The investment we're planning in Mississippi will help us fulfill this vision."
From 2006 to 2008, AT&T's total capital investment in Mississippi was nearly $875 million.
As part of its 2009 investment, AT&T plans to introduce 3G service in Brookhaven, Greenwood, Greenville, Laurel, Natchez, Philadelphia, Picayune and Tupelo. In other parts of the state, roughly 60 new cell sites are planned to enhance coverage.
The AT&T 3G network delivers to LaptopConnect users typical downlink speeds ranging between 700 kilobits per second (Kbps) and 1.7 megabits per second (Mbps), and faster uplink speeds ranging between 500 Kbps and 1.2 Mbps.
This super-charged network opens the door to a new era of advanced mobile services, devices and feature-rich audio and video content, such as AT&T Video Share(SM), a first-of-its-kind technology that allows users to share live video during a wireless call.
AT&T added 70 new cell sites in Mississippi last year.
Also in 2008, AT&T completed 3G network expansions in metro Jackson, Hattiesburg, Meridian, Vicksburg, Oxford, Gulfport/Biloxi and Columbus/Starkville. AT&T's 3G network is now available in nearly 350 U.S. major metropolitan areas.
AT&T's network is built on the GSM standard–the most open and widely used technology in the world. AT&T devices work in more than 200 countries and regions.
