Houston to get faster wireless data from AT&T
NEW YORK
The head of AT&T's Business Solutions unit, John Stankey, told
investors Wednesday that the network will cover 15 more cities by
the end of the year.
He says 20 phones and USB modems would be capable of using the
network by then. Analysts don't expect the next iPhone model to be
one of them.
The network will use a technology called Long Term Evolution.
It's what the industry recognizes as a fourth-generation, or 4G,
technology, though AT&T calls its current network "4G" as well.
Rival Verizon Wireless launched its LTE network in December, and
touts it as providing download speeds of 5 to 12 megabits per
second.
