In the first half of 2013, AT&T invested more than $20 million in its wireless and wired networks in Hawaii. The investments included deployment of new macro cell sites and Distributed Antenna Systems across the state as a part of AT&T's Project Velocity IP, a three-year investment plan announced last fall to expand and enhance its IP broadband networks. The company also expanded and enhanced its 4G LTE network, which provides ultra-fast mobile Internet speeds, and deployed new Wi-Fi hot spots.

These investments help to ensure that Hawaii residents continue to receive the best possible experience over the AT&T network, whether at home, at work or on the go. The great performance of AT&T's 4G LTE network, now the nation's fastest and most reliable, continues to be validated:

AT&T now has the most reliable 4G LTE network. According to independent third-party data, AT&T has the highest success rate for delivering mobile content across nationwide 4G LTE networks.

Meanwhile, our 4G LTE service was recognized as having faster average download and upload speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld/TechHive's most recent 20-market speed tests – the second consecutive year that AT&T has ranked 1st overall. PCWorld/TechHive also ranked AT&T's as the fastest combination of 3G and 4G services in the 20 cities it tested.

And AT&T was named America's fastest 4G LTE network in PC Magazine's 2013 Fastest Mobile Networks 30-market study – sweeping the top rankings in all six U.S. regions from coast to coast: Northeast, Southeast, North-Central, South-Central, Northwest and Southwest.

"Fast, reliable connectivity is essential to both quality of life and competitiveness at work," said Dan Youmans, State President, AT&T Hawaii. "AT&T's network investment supports Hawaii's economic health and residents' connectivity whether at home, at the office or on vacation. With the expansion of mobile Internet service, we're working to ensure that Hawaii consumers and businesses remain at the leading edge of broadband services."

The 2013 year-to-date network investment builds on the more than $110 million that AT&T has invested in its Hawaii wireless and wired networks from 2010 through 2012.

AT&T 4G LTE is now available in Honolulu. Nationwide, more than 225 million Americans have access to AT&T 4G LTE service. By year-end 2013, AT&T expects to cover nearly 270 million people and 400 markets with its 4G LTE network.
