Speed, Coverage and Capacity AT&T’s Network Investments
Expanding Broadband Coverage Significant network investment, including new 3G cell sites underway Significant network investment Investing Over the past two years, AT&T has invested  some $38 billion to enhance our wireless and wired networks and supporting infrastructure.  AT&T plans to invest between $17 billion and $18 billion this year (2009), two-thirds of which is being used for expansion and enhancement of the networks Building 3G Plan to deploy about 2,000 new cell sites in 2009  Acquired Assets Dobson Communications, Edge Wireless, Easterbrooke Cellular Corp. and others Wireless spectrum from Aloha Partners
850 MHz deployed in about 90% of 3G network today  Additional deployments  in progress Increasing Coverage 850 Spectrum overlay improves coverage, including in-building reception More 850 spectrum provides better performance  and reliability
Enhanced voice and data network performance Carrying Traffic on the Core Network  Increasing backhaul bandwidth to route wireless traffic  to the IP “superhighway” faster 100,000 new backhaul connections planned for installation between cell sites and IP backbone network in 2009 Substantial high-speed backhaul deployment over time to enable HSPA 7.2 and LTE IP Superhighway © 2009 AT&T Intellectual Property.

Speed 3G 4G 2G AT&T’s GSM Network Technology LTE: LTE, or Long Term Evolution, is a fourth generation (4G) technology standard under development that will provide significantly increased peak data rates. EDGE: EDGE stands for Enhanced Data GSM Environment and is a digital mobile phone technology that allows increased data transmission rates and improved data transmission reliability. EDGE is often called 2.5G GPRS: Short for General Packet Radio Service. It is a standard for wireless communications which runs at speeds up to 115 kilobits per second. HSPA/HSDPA/HSUPA:  HSPA, or High Speed Packet Access, is a general term that encompasses both HSDPA and HSUPA, which increase downlink and uplink speeds for AT&T’s 3G network, respectively. UMTS: Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, UMTS, is a GSM-based third generation (3G) cell phone technology, which is also being developed into a 4G technology, HSPA operates over UMTS.
