AT&T 4G LTE Coming Soon to New Orleans

More customers can look forward to ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices

NEW ORLEANS, March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* plans to roll out 4G LTE in New Orleans soon, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology and faster mobile Internet speeds.

New Orleans customers will see several benefits from AT&T 4G LTE, including:

    --  Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet
        speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers will be able to stream,
        download, upload and game faster than ever before.
    --  Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
        new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the Samsung Galaxy
        Note(TM), HTC One X, and Pantech Element(TM) 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.
"AT&T customers in New Orleans can look forward to even faster mobile Internet speeds very soon, on our leading lineup of smartphones and devices," said Sonia Perez, state president, AT&T Louisiana. "We're excited to bring New Orleans all that 4G LTE has to offer. Our teams will be working hard across the city toward our upcoming launch."

AT&T's 4G Network
In addition to New Orleans, AT&T 4G LTE is also coming to Baton Rouge, La.; Naples, Fla.; Bloomington, Lafayette and Muncie, Ind.; St. Louis, Mo; Akron, Canton and Cleveland, Ohio; Bryan-College Station, Texas; and Staten Island in New York City. These launches are scheduled for April, May and into the early summer.

AT&T customers have access to the nation's largest 4G network, covering nearly 250 million people. Even as 4G LTE expands, AT&T 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. AT&T 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. Up to 10x claim compares 4G LTE download speeds to industry average 3G download speeds. LTE is a trademark of ETSI. 4G speeds not available everywhere. Learn more at att.com/network.
