Wireless Service
AT&T continues to experience rapid growth in data usage as consumers demand seamless access through their wireless and wired devices, and businesses and municipalities increasingly connect equipment and facilities to the Internet.
Deploying 5G, which enables faster connectivity, lower latency and higher bandwidth, requires modifications to existing cell sites to add equipment compatible with new frequencies, such as C-band and 3.45 GHz band.
AT&T’s 5G service was rolled out nationwide in July 2020, and with that availability, the introduction of 5G phones and devices has helped renew interest in equipment upgrades
In January 2022, the company began deploying its C-band spectrum, subject to certain voluntary limitations.
