AT&T ENHANCES LOCAL WIRELESS NETWORK
FOR GOLF FANS AT DEUTSCHE BANK CHAMPIONSHIP
Company Expands Wireless Network Capacity to Accommodate Large Crowds
NORTON, MASS., AUGUST 25, 2014 As more than 115,000 fans converge at TPC Boston to follow
their favorite golf pros competing in the Deutsche Bank Championship, AT&T* is boosting network
capacity to help its customers have a great wireless experience.
The company has deployed a Cell on Wheels (COW) to accommodate expected increased wireless
network demands from high concentrations of smartphone users at TPC Boston. The augmentations
will help improve reliability and data speeds as the event runs from Aug. 29 through Sept. 1.
Events like the Deutsche Bank Championship generate memorable experiences that our customers
will want to share with friends and family through text messages, photos, status updates on social
networks and calls from their mobile devices, said Patricia Jacobs, President, AT&T New England.
Weve deployed a team of network engineers thats hard at work on local enhancements to help
provide great connectivity, solid coverage and fast speeds.
The temporary enhancements are part of AT&Ts ongoing efforts to prepare for and provide the best
possible mobile experience during special events like the Deutsche Bank Championship.
At the Deutsche Bank Championship we strive to provide the best sports experience inside and
outside the ropes. We are thrilled that AT&T is helping us in this endeavor with its technology, Mike
Antolini, Championship Director, said. The opportunity for fans to share their memories on the course
is endless with social media and AT&T is making the process seamless for spectators.
AT&Ts wireless customers in Massachusetts are already enjoying a network experience ranked
highest for overall data, call and text - network performance by independent mobile analytics firm
RootMetrics. The Seattle-based companys statewide wireless network performance study awarded
AT&T first in Massachusetts for its combination of data, call and text network performance. **
AT&T is building its network for speed, reliability and overall performance. AT&T made strategic
network architecture decisions as the company planned for 4G taking into account what services
customers would want down the line, and how they could be best served.
AT&Ts focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace
additional connection technologies. AT&T owns and operates more than 34,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots
at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and provides access to more than 1 million
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 doesnt count against customers
monthly wireless data plans.***
Over the past six years (2008 to 2013), AT&T invested more than $140 billion into its wireless and
wireline networks, when you combine capital investment and acquisitions of spectrum and wireless
operations. Over the past six years, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any
other public company. In a September 2013 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1
