AT&T has activated its 4G LTE wireless data network in Syracuse, the company said today.
The move boosts data speeds for LTE–compatible devices to up to 10 times faster than older 3G networks, according to Dallas–based AT&T (NYSE: T). The 4G LTE network also uses the wireless spectrum more efficiently, the company added.
“We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Syracuse responds to what customers want from their mobile experience — more, faster, on the best devices,” AT&T New York President Marissa Shorenstein said in a news release.
