AT&T 4G LTE EXPANDS IN THE GREATER BALTIMORE REGION INTO ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, ELLICOTT CITY
More customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices BALTIMORE, MD. JULY 26, 2012 AT&T* has expanded its 4G LTE network further throughout the greater Baltimore area in Baltimore and Anne Arundel Counties, bringing more customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T launched 4G LTE in Baltimore at the end of last year, and the expanded coverage is part of its ongoing rollout across the state. Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including: Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers can 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 HTC One X, Samsung Focus 2, Nokia Lumia 900, Samsung Galaxy Note, and Pantech Element 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 youve sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, twoway 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.

Weve seen positive response from customers on our 4G LTE launch in the Baltimore region, and as todays expansion shows, were continuing our rollout of fast LTE speeds to more areas of Maryland, including Baltimore and Anne Arundel Counties, as well as Ellicott City, said Rob Forsyth, vice president and general manager for AT&T in the greater Washington/Baltimore area. Todays launch means being able to beat your friends to the punch when accessing webpages, updating social networks and streaming video.

AT&Ts 4G Network AT&T customers have access to the nations largest 4G network, covering 275 million people. According to recent third-party speed tests by PCWorld, AT&T 4G LTE speeds are faster than the competition. Testing in 13 cities showed that AT&Ts combination of 4G LTE and HSPA+ technologies delivered faster download speeds than any other carrier tested. 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, youre on a much slower 3G network.
