AT&T brings LTE to St. Louis, expands in Staten Island

AT&T’s ultra-fast 4G LTE network might not have the coverage Verizon has, but it’s catching up. The newest additions to AT&T’s list of LTE markets are St. Louis and New York’s Staten Island. AT&T flips the switch on in St. Louis, while for Staten Island coverage is expanded. Currently, the second-biggest US carrier offers LTE in all five boroughs.

AT&T and Verizon both promise speeds of between 5Mbps and 12Mbps on the downlink and between 2Mbps and 5Mbps on the upstream. In reality, AT&T’s yet uncongested network has shown that it can reach much more than that currently.

Both carriers, though, cap data allowances at 10GB maximum. The latest 4G LTE addition to AT&T’s LTE network is the Nokia Lumia 900, but there is also a wide selection of LTE Android devices like the Galaxy S II Skyrocket.

Press Release

AT&T 4G LTE Expands in Staten Island

More customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices

NEW YORK, April 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has expanded its 4G LTE network in Staten Island, bringing more customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. The expanded coverage is part of its ongoing rollout across the market. AT&T 4G LTE coverage now includes all five boroughs.

AT&T 4G LTE provides several benefits, 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 first LTE Windows Phone 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 you've sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way 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.

"We've seen positive response from customers on our 4G LTE launch, and as today's expansion shows, we're continuing our rollout of fast LTE speeds to more areas of Staten Island," said Tom DeVito, Vice President General Manager for New York and New Jersey.

AT&T's 4G Network

AT&T customers have access to the nation's largest 4G network, covering nearly 250 million people. 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, you're on a much slower 3G network.

Limited 4G LTE availability in select markets. Deployment ongoing. 4G LTE device and data plan required. Up to 10x claim compares 4G LTE download speeds to industry average 3G download speeds. LTE is a trademark of ETSI. Learn more about 4G LTE at att.com/network.

"the right side"
That's the East.

It has a greater amout of population dense areas --> more people covered per tower --> rollout faster to people --> better.

Get it?

Here's another thing:
Key West is a small little place. Not many people really live here, but there's tons of tourists. This means, there's lots of users. So, this spot is better for the companies than high-residental cities.
Interesting, right?

What's their definition of expanding on Staten Island:
moving a Micro-Cell Tower 10 feet to the right or service on that tugboat called the Staten Island Ferry?

This is good news for me because I live in St Louis and ive been waiting for the LTE switch to be turned on. Now all I have to do is to upgrade to the Note and call it a day.

This isnt as great of news like the Cardinals winning the world series last year, but its worth smiling about lol
