AT&T announced last week that it invested more than $725 million in its wireless and wired networks in Pennsylvania from 2015 to 2017 to boost network performance for residents, businesses as well as first responders.
“Pennsylvania is a global hub for technology and innovation. To maintain our competitiveness regionally, nationally and globally, we need sound public policies and sustained private sector investment,” J. Michael Schweder, president of AT&T Mid-Atlantic, said. “We’re continually building and enhancing our infrastructure in the Commonwealth to help support economic growth and development and connect Pennsylvanians to the tools to stay connected and entertained.”
AT&T noted that it is building out its 4G LTE network and laying the foundation for 5G.
It also highlighted FirstNet, a nationwide communications platform for the public safety community.
“As we build, deploy and evolve FirstNet, we will build upon our current and planned investments in Pennsylvania to help ensure public safety’s network delivers the coverage and cutting-edge capabilities first responders expect – today and for decades to come,” the company said.
