AT&T has turned on the nation's fast and most reliable 4G LTE network in Stephenville, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. Several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including: Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering speeds faster than many other mobile Internet technologies.

Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before. Reliability. AT&T not only has the nation's fast 4G LTE network, but now also has the most reliable 4G LTE network.

Cool new devices. AT&T offered several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets. 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 customer has 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. AT&T's 4G Network launch is part of AT&T's Project Velocity IP (VIP), a three-year investment plan announced last fall to expand and enhance its IP broadband networks. Through this investment, AT&T is supporting its customers' growing desire for high-speed Internet access and new mobile, app and cloud-based services.

As part of Project VIP, AT&T plans to add more than 10,000 macro cell sites nationwide by year-end 2015, as well as deploy more than 40,000 small cells and add more than 1,000 Distributed Antenna Systems to increase the density of its wireless network. AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in a nationwide 4G network with ultra-fast speeds and a consistent user experience. Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on its 4G HSPA+ network, unlike some competitors, where smartphone customers may fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage.
