It is also part of AT&T�s ongoing investment to build the broadband networks that will create jobs and fuel economic growth, and enable its customers to quickly access the content, applications and services that matter most to them.
�Investment in wireless broadband will go a long way toward ensuring the connectivity of residents in our communities,� said U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Holland. �So many of our residents depend upon wireless devices to keep connected to their workplace, their friends and their families, so it is encouraging to see such advancements in West Michigan.�
AT&T�s 3G network is now available in Muskegon and surrounding cities, such as Coopersville, Grand Haven, Montague, Muskegon Heights, North Muskegon, Norton Shores and Whitehall. The addition of 3G technology to cell sites in Muskegon and Ottawa Counties will strengthen wireless voice quality and data speeds, offer customers broadband-like speed and enhance in-building coverage for area businesses. The 3G network has also been enhanced along major roadways, including US-31.
The 3G mobile broadband network expansion efforts help address the growing demand for advanced wireless data products and services as more and more people's lives become increasingly mobile and fast-paced. With 3G speeds, customers can not only surf the Web and download files faster than ever, but they can also experience the very latest interactive mobile applications.
�The increased need for wireless connectivity, whether at home or on the go, has transformed how we live and work,� said Brian Ducharme, vice president and general manager for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets in Michigan. �Our customers have embraced smartphones, so this expansion will allow them to enjoy the benefits of these devices and mobile broadband for years to come.�
AT&T�s 3G mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most open and widely used wireless network platforms in the world.
