News Release
JASPER, Ind. – AT&T has turned on the nation's most reliable 4G LTE network in Jasper and Huntingburg, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology.
“Our businesses are communicating with their counterparts around the world with wireless devices that fit in the palm of their hand,” said State Rep. Mark Messmer (R-Jasper). “Enabling local residents and business leaders to access faster wireless speeds will allow them to stay on the leading edge of economic growth opportunities in the coming years.”
“We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Jasper and Huntingburg responds to what customers want from their mobile experience – more, faster, reliably, on the best devices,” said Bill Soards, president of AT&T Indiana.
AT&T's 4G Network
This launch is part of AT&T's Project Velocity IP (VIP), a three-year investment plan announced in fall of 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.
AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.
From 2007 to 2012, AT&T invested more than $116 billion into its wireless and wireline networks across the country. Since 2007, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a September 2013 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. “Investment Heroes.”
