AT&T has announced the launch of its 3G wireless network to consumers and businesses in Savannah. The network offers broadband-like speed and access to interactive voice, video, and data applications.

AT&T 3G Wireless Broadband Brings a Wide Variety of Features to Savannah

"The city of Savannah is experiencing impressive growth, and we are growing our local network to meet this increased demand for wireless service," said Brenda Kittila, vice president and general manager, AT&T Georgia Wireless Operations. "Our goal is to ensure that AT&T customers in Savannah have the best wireless experience possible - which includes coverage, speed, and quality of service when customers are on the move. They can view videos from their favorite shows, play games, download music, check the stock market, or just read and write e-mail as if they were at home or in the office."

AT&T 3G Devices Support AT&T Video Share Service

Many of AT&T's 3G devices support AT&T Video Share, a first of its kind service in the U.S. that enables users to share live video while carrying on a voice call. AT&T's 3G customers can also view video clips through CV, an on-demand streaming video service that offers a comprehensive library of mobile video content from CNN, FOX News, ABC Mobile, CBS Mobile, NBC, ESPN, The Weather Channel, MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, "American Idol," HBO Mobile, and more.

AT&T 3G Network Offers Downlink Speeds up to 1.7 Mbps

The 3G network in Savannah will launch with HSUPA technology. This year's HSUPA deployment in all 3G markets completed the transition of the AT&T 3G network to High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) standards. The AT&T 3G network now delivers LaptopConnect users typical downlink speeds ranging between 700 kilobits per second (Kbps) and 1.7 megabits per second (Mbps), and faster uplink speeds ranging between 500 Kbps and 1.2 Mbps. The faster uplink speeds allow users to quickly send large files and take full advantage of the latest Internet and business applications.
