We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Mankato responds to
what customers want from their mobile experience more, faster, reliably, on the best devices, said Paul
Weirtz, president of AT&T Minnesota. AT&T is not only committed to continuing to invest in our Minnesota
network, but to also helping strengthen our communities through donations to organizations like the YWCA
Mankato.





This is wonderful news for Mankato, our residents and our businesses, said Mayor Anderson. The
demand for the latest mobile Internet technologies will only grow, and we are excited to see AT&T investing
in our community to provide that technology. It is also great to companies like AT&T giving back to the
community through charitable donations like todays announcement to the YWCA.

Fast and reliable mobile technology is critical to growing our states economy, said State Senator Kathy
Sheran. This investment is great news for Mankato because advancements in mobile technologies not only
drive economic growth, but help residents stay connected and businesses stay competitive in a global
economy.

Todays 4G network expansion is part of AT&Ts Project Velocity (VIP), a three-year investment plan
announced in fall 2012 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 macro cell sites nationwide by year-end 2015, as
well as deploy small cells and add Distributed Antenna Systems to increase the density of its wireless
network.

Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:

Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster
than 3G***. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.
Reliability. AT&T has the nations most reliable 4G LTE network.
Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE
smartphones and tablets.
Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency than other wireless technologies, which
means faster processing time to move data through a network, such as initiating a webpage or file
download. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way 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.

From 2010 to 2013, AT&T invested more than $525 million in its best-in-class wireless and wired networks
in Minnesota, driving a wide range of upgrades to enhance speed, reliability, coverage and performance for
residents and business customers. In 2013 alone, AT&T made more than 700 network upgrades in
Minnesota, including 34 new sites built, 365 capacity enhancements, and 376 enhanced fiber (Ethernet)
backhaul adds.
