AT&T has enhanced high-speed connectivity for businesses and residents in Houston County, in and around the communities of Byron and Warner Robins. The investments are in response to customer demand, adding more capacity to the latest generation of wireless technology and reflecting AT&T’s ongoing investments in high-speed Internet by enhancing the nation’s most reliable 4G LTE network.
Whether Georgians are at the conference table, the kitchen table, or on the go, they require fiber-optics based, high-speed connectivity.
“This kind of investment is why we pursue business-friendly and pro-investment policy here in Georgia,” said State Representative Shaw Blackmon. “Not only do individuals benefit, but small businesses and communities become more attractive when they can tout robust, high-speed broadband connections through wired and wireless networks.”
“At the Robins Regional Chamber we are focused on fostering a first-class business environment that will encourage the growth and expansion of existing business and be attractive to those looking to start or locate a new business,” said April Bragg, President & CEO. “As we hear of more investments like these enhancements in the broadband infrastructure in Georgia, we can be thankful for the leadership of our local delegation that is key in creating an environment that can lead to greater investments in Georgia’s communications networks.”
With more than $5.5 billion invested in Georgia between 2012 and 2015, AT&T is aggressively investing in our network to give customers the high-quality services they need to stay connected. This helps Georgia residents and business owners get the best possible experience over the AT&T network, whether at home, at work or on the go.
“At AT&T, we are always looking for new and innovative approaches to provide high-speed Internet accessibility through our wired and wireless networks,” said Terry Smith, regional director, external affairs, AT&T Georgia. “AT&T is making robust investments in our advanced fiber-based networks in Georgia to help more residents take full advantage of the latest services and tools, and to give Georgians access to the speed they need in today’s economy.”
