AT&T has activated a new 4G LTE cell site in south Tampa that is expanding 4G LTE coverage in the areas of South Westshore Boulevard, Interbay Boulevard, Port Tampa, Picnic Island Park, and the northwestern areas of the military base.
AT&T 4G LTE technology provides mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G and improves service performance and reliability.
The new Tampa cell site is part of AT&T’s Project Velocity IP (VIP), a three-year investment plan announced in Fall 2012 to expand and enhance its IP broadband networks. 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 plans to add macro cell sites nationwide by year-end 2015, as well as deploy small cells and add Distributed Antenna Systems to increase the density of its wireless network.
