4G LTE From AT&T Available in Raleigh and Chapel Hill

Customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile broadband on new LTE compatible devices

RALEIGH, N.C. and CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Raleigh and Chapel Hill, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T 4G LTE provides several benefits, including:

    --  Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering speeds faster
        than many other mobile broadband technologies. Customers can stream,
        download, upload and game faster than ever before.
    --  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.
    --  Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
        new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets.
"AT&T is committed to investing in advanced technologies that meet our customers' needs and help stimulate economic growth and job creation," said Cynthia Marshall, President AT&T North Carolina.

"We continue to see demand for mobile broadband skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Raleigh and Chapel Hill responds to what customers want from their mobile experience and provides solutions -- more, faster, on the best devices," said Laurent Therivel, AT&T's VP/GM of Mobility and Consumer Markets in the Carolinas.

AT&T 4G LTE Devices

AT&T offers several 4G LTE-compatible devices, including:

    --  HTC Vivid(TM)
    --  Samsung Galaxy S(TM) II Skyrocket(TM)
    --  LG Nitro HD
    --  HTC Jetstream(TM) tablet
    --  Samsung Galaxy(TM) Tab 8.9
    --  AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G
    --  AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G
AT&T's 4G LTE Network

AT&T will continue to expand its 4G LTE footprint in Raleigh and Chapel Hill over the coming months. AT&T has launched 4G LTE in 26 markets nationwide.

Even as AT&T 4G LTE expands, customers will be able to enjoy more consistent 4G speeds on their compatible device as they move in and out of LTE areas. Not only is AT&T deploying 4G LTE, it has also deployed fast HSPA+ technology throughout its mobile broadband network. HSPA+, when combined with enhanced backhaul, provides customers with 4G speeds. Customers of competitors who have transitioned to LTE without further speed upgrades to their existing networks are likely to see a jarring drop-off in speeds when they move out of LTE areas.
