AT&T Expands 4G LTE Coverage to More Birmingham Customers

As part of its continuing network investment and ongoing 4G LTE rollout, AT&T has upgraded a mobile Internet cell site in Birmingham to expand AT&T 4G LTE coverage for area residents and businesses.

“AT&T’s investment in stronger signals and faster speeds makes it possible for local businesses to compete and win in today’s economy and tomorrow’s, too,” said state Sen. Marty Knollenberg (R-Troy). “Their work bringing this kind of innovation to Oakland County is a big asset, in the effort to create jobs and rebuild our local economies.”

The network enhancement adds new layers of frequency, also known as “carriers” to Birmingham. Faster speeds will be noticed along Woodward Avenue, east of Pierce Street.

AT&T’s network has the nation’s strongest LTE signal, and AT&T also has the nation’s most reliable LTE network.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, reliability and innovative new 4G LTE-compatible devices.4

AT&T launched its ultra-fast 4G LTE network in Detroit in September 2012. The new cell sites are one 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.

“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 Jim Murray, president, AT&T Michigan. “As part of the Birmingham 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.”
