AT&T 4G LTE EXPANDSINMARYSVILLE
As Part of AT&T’s Project VIP Investment, More Customers to Benefit FromNation’s
Fastest and Most Reliable 4G LTE Networkon the LatestDevices
MARYSVILLE, Ohio (Dec.6, 2013)—AT&T* has expandedthe nation’s fastest and most reliable4G
LTEnetwork** in Marysville, bringing more customers the latest generation of wireless network
technology.AT&T launched 4G LTE in Columbus on Nov. 16, 2012, and the expanded coverage is part
of its ongoing rollout across the market.
AT&T 4G LTE coverage now includes parts of Marysville, Richwood and Union County.
―AT&T’s investment is an example of the company’s overall commitment to this area,‖ said State
Senator Dave Burke. ―This enhancement of the wireless infrastructure in the Marysville area builds on
our reputation as a strong region for business investment.‖
―Fast and reliable mobile data is key to our growing economy,‖ said State Representative Dorothy
Pelanda.―This investment is good news for my constituents because advancement in mobile
technologies is a critical economic driver for businesses and consumers to remain competitive and to
foster further economic growth.‖
Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internetspeeds up to 10 times
faster than 3G***. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.

2. Reliability. AT&T not only has the nation’s fastest 4G LTE network, but now also has the most
reliable 4G LTE network. Based on our analysis of Nielsen data, AT&T has the highest success
rate for delivering mobile content across nationwide 4G LTE networks.
Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE
smartphones and tablets.
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 you’ve sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, twoway 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.
―I’m proud to say that the Marysville area is among the communities enjoying this cutting-edge
technology,‖ said Marysville Mayor John Gore. ―Our children need access to the same technological
tooIs enjoyed by their peers in larger communities. We are delighted that this is now available in
Marysville.‖
―In an information-driven economy, the ability to have access to the latest communications technology
is critical,‖ said Union County-Marysville Economic Development Partnership Executive Director Eric
Phillips. ―Investments like this assure that businesses of all sizes can compete effectively in a global
economy. I would like to thank AT&T for this investment in our community.‖
AT&T’s 4G Network
This expansion 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.

3. AT&T’s innovation and investment have resulted in a nationwide 4G network with ultra-fast speeds and
a consistent user experience. The great performance of AT&T’s fastest and most reliable 4G LTE
network continues to be validated by independent third-party testing:
Our 4G LTE service was recognized as having faster average download and upload speeds
than any of our competitors in PCWorld/TechHive’s most recent 20-market speed tests— the
second consecutive year that AT&T has ranked first overall. PCWorld/TechHive also ranked
AT&T’s as the fastest combination of 3G and 4G services in the 20 cities it tested.****
And AT&T was named America’s fastest 4G LTE network in PC Magazine’s 2013 Fastest
Mobile Networks 30-market study— and also swept the top rankings in all six U.S. regions from
coast to coast: Northeast, Southeast, North-Central, South-Central, Northwest and
Southwest.*****
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get4G 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.
―We’ve seen positive response from customers on our 4G LTE launch, and as today’s expansion
shows, we’re continuing our rollout of fast 4G LTE speeds to more areas of central Ohio,‖ said AT&T
External Affairs Director Nicole Staples Walker. ―We’ll continue to invest and transform our
infrastructure in response to the demands of the Ohio marketplace.‖
AT&T’s focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace
additional connection technologies. AT&T operates the nation’s largest Wi-Fi network******including
more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and
provides access to more than 461,000 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 doesn’t count against customers’ monthly wireless data plans.

4. 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 other
areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.
Over the past six years (2007-2012), AT&T invested more than $116 billion into itswireless and wireline
networks across the country. Since 2007, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than
any other public company. In a September 2013 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T
No. 1 on its list of U.S. ―Investment Heroes.‖
