AT&T Boosts Cell Coverage in Aliso Viejo

AT&T recently upgraded one of its Aliso Viejo cell towers to boost their network's coverage within the area.

The upgrade claims to bring "faster speeds, increased reliability and best-in-class wireless service to residents," according to a press release.

"State-of-the-art" improvements were made to the cell tower, located on a rooftop helipad at 45 Enterprise, in anticipation of the increasing volume of calls, video, Internet and data usage in the area.

AT&T is investing $450 million in network improvements in Los Angeles and Orange County to stay ahead of the growing data demand.

“We’ve seen an astounding 8,000 percent increase in data traffic in the last four years. This has been our call to action to keep pace and stay ahead of customer demand,” said Andy Shibley, vice president and general manager, Greater Los Angeles Region.  “To ensure this, we’re adding new cell sites, enhancing in-building coverage, increasing data speeds and, most importantly, servicing and tuning our network—all to improve our customer’s experience.”

According to the release, AT&T 4G has also been deployed to the moblie broadband newtwork in Aliso Viejo.

"When combined with enhanced Ethernet connectivity between the cell site and the wireless switch center later this year, the deployment will enable 4G wireless data speeds of up to four times faster than ordinary mobile broadband, enhancing the experience for customers and businesses who use the Internet or data-heavy applications on tablets, mobile devices or smartphones."
