New York City will now be seeing a significant improvement in the quality and speed of its 3G wireless broadband services following an announcement by network operator AT&T that it has now completed another key initiative in its continuing work to improve the performance and capacity of its 3G wireless broadband network.
Improvements to performance, data and 3G wireless voice connectivity, especially during peak hours, are expected for any customers using 3G services in the train station in Woodside and Jamaica, Queens or Prospect Park and Coney Island following the recent upgrade to over 145 3G cell sites by AT&T.
The network provider also carried out 3G network upgrades for the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, the Queens Midtown and Brooklyn Battery Tunnels, and the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, which is better known as the Triborough Bridge.
To increase the 3G capacity at local cell sites and to more efficiently manage the available spectrum the latest enhancements to the network have added new layers of frequency that are also known as ‘carriers’. The allocation of more network resources for its 3G network is design to help expand the network infrastructure and help AT&T manage the constantly increasing demand for its mobile broadband services.
The vice president and general manager for AT&T in New Jersey and New York, Tom DeVito advised “We’re continually optimizing the mobile broadband network across the city and that includes the recent project to add capacity in Brooklyn and Queens. Adding capacity to a cell site is like adding extra subway cars along the G train in Brooklyn and Queens; more straphangers can ride the train during rush hour.”
A previously announced investment plan to extend mobile broadband access in metro New York included the upgrades that were carried out in Brooklyn and Queens.
