AT&T Continues to Strengthen Mobile Coverage in Cattaraugus County
New Cell Site Activated as Part of Ongoing AT&T Investment in Local Wireless Network
NAPOLI, N.Y., Aug. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its continuing network investment to support growing demand for mobile devices and services, AT&T* today announced the activation of a new cell site in Cattaraugus County that enhances network coverage for both area residents and businesses. New areas of coverage include along Sawmill Run Road between Napoli and East Randolph and on Route 242 between East Randolph and Little Valley.
"More than ever before, customers look to wireless communications to stay in touch with family, friends and business colleagues," said Amy Hines Kramer, regional vice president of external affairs for AT&T in New York. "We're working to make this possible by investing in new wireless coverage in the Empire State. In addition, our recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA represents a major commitment to strengthen and expand our network. If approved, this deal means that we'll be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband - 4G LTE - from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to more than 97 percent."
The new cell site is one part of AT&T's ongoing efforts to drive innovation and extend its mobile network. It is also part of our ongoing investment to build the networks that will fuel economic growth and create jobs, and enable AT&T's customers to quickly access the content, applications and services that matter most to them.
Senator Catharine Young (R,I,C-Olean) said, "Delivering dependable wireless coverage for consumers and businesses who need to stay connected to work, family and friends is critical. These kinds of ongoing investments in the state will help New York's businesses and residents maintain access to the wireless services that can also help drive New York's economic growth. I commend AT&T for their investment in our region."
"We're working hard in Cattaraugus County to make sure every customer has an extraordinary experience when they make a call, check e-mail, or keep their business mobile on an AT&T device," said Robert Holliday, vice president and general manager, AT&T Upstate/Western New York. "As part of the Napoli, Randolph and East Randolph communities, we're always looking for new ways to invest in the local wireless network and this is one way that we are doing that."
AT&T's mobile network is based on the Global System for Mobile (GSM) standard, the most open and widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T offers data roaming in 200 countries, as well as voice calling in more than 220 countries.
AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network** with nearly 27,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to nearly 190,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.
