AT&T 4G LTE COMING TO CINCINNATI IN 2012
Customers can look forward to even faster mobile Internet
on the latest LTE devices
CINCINNATI, Sept. 6, 2012 — AT&T* plans to roll out 4G LTE in Cincinnati by the end of the year,
bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology and faster mobile Internet
speeds.
Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides. LTE technology is capable of
delivering speeds faster than many other mobile Internet technologies. Today, smartphones download
fastest on AT&T 4G LTE.** Customers will be able to stream, download, upload and game faster than
ever before on the latest LTE-compatible smartphones, tablets and devices.
―Cincinnati enjoys AT&T’s fast 4G speeds*** today as part of the nation’s largest 4G network, and our
teams will be working hard across the city toward our upcoming 4G LTE launch,‖ said Tom Pelto,
President AT&T Ohio. ―AT&T customers in Cincinnati can look forward to even faster speeds this year,
on our leading lineup of smartphones, tablets and other devices.‖
AT&T’s 4G Network
AT&T’s innovation and investment has resulted in the nation’s largest 4G network, covering 275 million
people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. AT&T is the only U.S. service
provider to deploy two compatible 4G technologies to deliver more speed to more customers. Our 4G
LTE network delivered faster average download speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld’s most
recent 13-market speed tests.

2. AT&T’s 4G network also delivers multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our
network’s radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the
base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn,
improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements
distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet,
because your request isn’t traveling as far.
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage in 2012 and 2013, customers can get 4G
speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike competitor’s, where customers fall
back to slower 3G technologies when outside of 4G LTE coverage.
Over the past five years, AT&T invested more than $115 billion into operations and into acquiring
spectrum and other assets that have enhanced our wireless and wired networks. Since 2007, AT&T
has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report,
the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. ―Investment Heroes.‖
