AT&T today announced it has invested nearly $225 million in its wireless and wired networks in New York in the first half of 2013.
The investments included deployment of new macro-cell sites, small cells, and distributed-antenna systems across the state as a part of AT&T’s Project Velocity IP, a three-year investment plan announced in 2012 to expand and enhance its IP (Internet protocol) broadband networks.
The company also expanded and enhanced its 4G LTE (long-term evolution) network, which provides “ultra-fast,” mobile-Internet speeds, and deployed new Wi-Fi hot spots, AT&T said in a news release.
Network upgrades completed so far this year in New York include 4G LTE launches and expansions in Auburn, Binghamton, Cortland, Ithaca, Seneca Falls, Syracuse, and Watertown.
The 2013 year-to-date network investment builds on the more than $1.4 billion that AT&T has invested in its New York wireless and wired networks from 2010 through 2012, the company added.
