AT&T EXPANDS 4G LTE COVERAGE TO MORE NAPERVILLE CUSTOMERS

New 4G LTE Cell Sites Activated as Part of Ongoing AT&T Investment in Local Wireless Network Naperville, IL., April 3, 2013 As part of its continuing network investment and ongoing 4G LTE rollout, AT&T* today announced the activation of two new mobile Internet cell sites in Naperville to expand AT&T 4G LTE coverage for area residents and businesses. AT&T 4G LTE is the latest generation of wireless network technology and provides several benefits for local residents, including faster mobile Internet speeds, improved performance and innovative new 4G LTE-compatible devices. These new sites will improve coverage for residents and businesses near the intersection of Bauer Road and Mill Street, and also near the intersection of Wall Street and McDowell Road in Naperville. AT&T launched its ultra-fast 4G LTE network in Chicago and surrounding areas in September of 2011. The new cell sites are one part of AT&Ts ongoing effort to expand 4G LTE coverage and to drive investment and innovation to deliver the nations best, most advanced mobile Internet experience for customers. Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience, and theyll be able to download, upload, stream and game faster than ever before on our 4G LTE network, said AT&T Illinois President Paul La Schiazza. Were always looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage for

consumers and businesses in the new Internet-based economy, and this investment in our Naperville wireless network is another way were accomplishing that goal. Wireless broadband technologies connect our families and businesses with opportunities like never before, said State Rep. Darlene Senger. This investment in the fastest mobile broadband is great news for Naperville, our people and our economy.

AT&Ts 4G Network
AT&Ts innovation and investment has resulted in the nations largest 4G network, covering more than 285 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. Thats coverage in 3,000 more 4G cities and towns than Verizon.** AT&Ts 4G LTE network delivers speeds faster than many other mobile Internet technologies***, 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. AT&T has deployed two compatible 4G technologies to deliver more speed to more smartphone customers, which means AT&T customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on 4G HSPA+, unlike competitors, where smartphone customers 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 operates the nations largest Wi-Fi network**** including more than 31,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers across the country. 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 other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging. AT&T invested nearly $3.3 billion in Illinois from 2010 through 2012 to enhance speeds, reliability and performance for customers. Since 2007, 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.
