AT&T Connects Rural Alabama With Faster Broadband Services
Read MoreHide Full Article
AT&T Inc. (T - Free Report) is rolling out broadband connectivity across the rural and underserved locations in the United States. The company recently expanded its Fixed Wireless Internet service across rural Alabama.
With the inclusion of Alabama, AT&T presently offers this service to more than 440,000 locations across 18 states and further aims to provide Internet access to above 1.1 million locations by the end of 2020.
AT&T will offer Internet connection with download speed of at least 10Mbps and upload speed of at least 1Mbps through Fixed Wireless Internet service. The connectivity is facilitated through a wireless tower and is routed via a fixed antenna placed on the customer’s home. This cost-effective Internet connection is arguably one of the best methods to deliver high-quality faster broadband to customers in underserved rural areas.
Since 2015, AT&T has invested about $1.2 billion to improve the wireline and wireless networks in Alabama. The company will use fiber optics to connect the wireless towers with its dedicated global network to deliver the Fixed Wireless Internet service. AT&T has an extensive coverage of fiber optics in the state with more than 2 million strand miles of fiber optics spanning the state.
The company is gearing up to launch 5G services to consumers in multiple U.S. markets by the end of 2018. AT&T has been working hard since 2017 to lay the foundation for mobile 5G network and has completed network upgrade in 23 major cities.
AT&T’s wireless growth opportunities from the launch of standards-based mobile 5G services and the FirstNet project remain impressive. Notably, completion of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project’s first implementable 5G new radio (NR) specification has set the stage for the global mobile industry to start full-scale development of 5G NR for large-scale trials and commercial deployments in 2019.
Other companies that are aiming to deploy 5G technology in select cities across the United States in the near future are Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ - Free Report) , T-Mobile US, Inc. (TMUS - Free Report) and CenturyLink, Inc. .
