More customers to benef i t f romnations fastest 4G LTE networkon th e latest devices

NEW BEDFORD, MASS. JUNE 19, 2013 AT&T* has expanded the nations fastest4G LTE

network** in the New Bedford area, bringing more customers the latest generation of wireless network

technology. AT&T launched 4G LTE inBostonin December 2011, and the expanded coverage is part

of its ongoing rollout across the market.

AT&T 4G LTE coverage now includes parts of New Bedford, Acushnet, Berkley, Freetown, North

Dighton, Marion, Rehoboth and Westport.

Watchhereto see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:

Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of deliveringmobile Internetspeeds 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

smartphonesandtablets.

Faster response time.LTE technologyoffers 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 youve 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.

Weve seen positive response from customers on our 4G LTE launch, and as todays expansionshows, were continuing our rollout of fast 4G LTE speeds to more towns in the New Bedford area,

said Patricia Jacobs, president, AT&T New England.

AT&Ts 4G Network

AT&Ts innovation and investment have resulted in the nations largest 4G network, covering more than

292 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. Our 4G LTE network

delivered faster average download and upload speeds than any of our competitors inPCWorld/TechHives most recent 20-market speed tests.

AT&Ts 4G LTE network delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G, as well as multiple innovations

that optimize the network for performance. Our networks radio components are placed close to the

antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between

the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The

network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce

latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isnt traveling as far.

Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G

LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike some competitors, where smartphone customers may fall

back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage.

AT&Ts focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace

additional connection technologies. AT&T operatesthe nations largest Wi-Fi network**** including

more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, andprovides access to more than 402,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T

smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi

usage doesnt count against customers monthly wireless data plans.

AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas

to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and otherareas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.

Over the past five years, AT&T invested nearly $98 billion into its operations across the country. Since

2008, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July

2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. Investment Heroes.
