ATT: Were Still Working on that Network
Posted in: att, Today's Chili
Ah, poor AT&T. Its 3G network has been slammed as usual here in Las Vegas at CES, leaving CTO John Donovan explaining how hard they’re working on improving things.
“We have a high sense of urgency and are on the right track,” Donovan said.
AT&T doubled the number of cell sites served by fiber-optic backhaul and has been focusing on San Francisco and New York this year, Donovan said. Improvements include converting its 850-Mhz spectrum to 3G, adding 900 towers in New York, and adding 850 towers in San Francisco, he said.
Donovan also noted that AT&T has finished converting all of its 3G towers to the fast HSPA 7.2 system, although the company is still waiting for the appropriate high-speed backhaul.
“There’s much more to come in 2010,” Donovan said.
