AT&T's ( News - Alert) wireless unit has expanded its Kentucky wireless service with a new cell site that enhances coverage in Lebanon, Ky. The new cell site is located along Hwy. 62.
"The new cell site in Lebanon will allow us to provide that exceptional network for our folks in Kentucky that only AT&T can provide," said Bill Plantz, executive director of Network Engineering for the company's Tennessee/Kentucky market.
AT&T has added 12 new cell sites in the Kentucky/Tennessee market since January and added more than 48 cell sites in Kentucky last year. The company also completed the integration of its cell sites with those of the former Cingular ( News - Alert), to establish a single enhanced network. As a result, AT&T's ALLOVER Network, will grow in size across the commonwealth.
“We are pleased to continue to deliver our commitment to customer service, high quality and exceptional reliability, for all of our Kentucky customers," said Jim Thorpe, vice president and general manager of AT&T's wireless division in Tennessee/Kentucky. "AT&T has invested in an array of innovative wireless products and services, and this allows our customers to get the continued seamless network they expect."
Over the past two years, AT&T has invested over $13.5 billion nationally in an aggressive program to upgrade and expand wireless service, which now gives customers access to approximately 45,000 cell sites.
