4G LTE FROM AT&T AVAILABLE IN LOS ANGELES AND ORANGE COUNTY



Customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile broadband on new LTE compatible devices

AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Los Angeles, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T 4G LTE provides several benefits, including:

·         Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering speeds faster than many other mobile broadband technologies. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before. 
·         Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you’ve sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way video calling and telemedicine.
·         More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource, and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better network experience.
·         Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets.

“We continue to see demand for mobile broadband skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Los Angeles responds to what customers want from their mobile experience — more, faster, on the best devices,” said Andy Shibley, vice president and general manager.
