AT&T Enhances 4G LTE in Edgewater

Staying connected in our fast-paced society is always important, and AT&T is committed to investing in our network to bring you super fast speeds at the places you visit most. As part of ongoing investments in Maryland, AT&T expanded its 4G LTE coverage in Edgewater.

The cell sites are part of AT&T’s ongoing efforts to expand 4G LTE coverage and to drive investment and innovation to deliver the nation’s best, most advanced mobile Internet experience for customers. AT&T 4G LTE is the latest generation of wireless network technology and provides several benefits for local residents, including faster mobile Internet speeds — up to 10 times faster than 3G — improved performance and innovative new 4G LTE-compatible devices. 

“Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience, and they’ll be able to download, upload, stream and game faster than ever before on our 4G LTE network,” said J. Michael Schweder, president, AT&T Mid-Atlantic. “As part of the Baltimore community, we’re always looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage, and our investment in the local wireless network is another way we’re accomplishing that.”

AT&T is continually working to enhance our network. AT&T launched its ultra-fast 4G LTE network in Anne Arundel County area in 2012 and recently announced the company invested nearly $650M in its Maryland wireless and wireline networks from 2010 through 2012 – nearly $425M in the greater Baltimore area alone. Nearly 775 wireless network upgrades were made in Maryland during 2012, including activating new cell sites, adding capacity, upgrading cell sites to provide fast 4G LTE mobile Internet speeds, deploying high-capacity Ethernet connections to cell sites, and adding or upgrading Distributed Antenna Systems, which boost wireless coverage and capacity in buildings and at major venues like convention halls or sports arenas.
