WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – ATT* has turned on its 4G LTE network in West Palm Beach, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. Watch here to see several of the benefits ATT 4G LTE provides, including:

- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering speeds faster than many other mobile Internet technologies. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.
- Cool new devices. ATT offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new ATT 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the HTC One™ X, Samsung Focus® 2, Nokia Lumia 900, Samsung Galaxy Note™, and Pantech Element™ tablet.
- 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.
“We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in West Palm Beach responds to what customers want from their mobile experience — more, faster, on the best devices,” said Carlos Blanco, vice president and general manager, ATT Mobility Consumer Markets for South Florida.
ATT’s 4G Network
ATT customers have access to the nation’s largest 4G network, covering 275 million people. According to recent third-party speed tests by PCWorld, ATT 4G LTE speeds are faster than the competition. Testing in 13 cities showed that ATT’s combination of 4G LTE and HSPA+ technologies delivered faster download speeds than any other carrier tested.
Even as 4G LTE expands, ATT customers are able to enjoy widespread, ultra-fast and consistent 4G speeds on their compatible device as they move in and out of LTE areas. ATT has two 4G networks that work together for customers, LTE and HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul. With other carriers, when you travel outside of their LTE coverage area, you’re on a much slower 3G network.
Limited 4G LTE availability in select markets. Deployment ongoing. 4G LTE device and data plan required. LTE is a trademark of ETSI. 4G speeds not available everywhere. Learn more about 4G LTE at att.com/network.
