AT&T has added a new cell site to enhance Jackson’s 5G wireless coverage and capacity. Now, residents, businesses, and public safety on FirstNet® can get the most out of their mobile devices. 

The new site in Jackson boosts coverage along Old Bethel Road in between Highway 36 and Wolf Creek Road. 

“The Butts County Board of Commissioners is grateful for AT&T’s continued 5G network enhancements within our community,” said J. Keith Douglas, District 4 Commissioner and Vice Chairman, Butts County Board of Commissioners. “This addition to Butts County will significantly enhance and extend wireless coverage, providing critical connectivity for our residents, businesses, and emergency services, which strengthens the foundation for future growth, innovation, and public safety.”

AT&T 5G brings fast, reliable and highly secure connectivity to more than 310 million people in over 26,100 cities and towns nationwide, including Jackson. This helps Georgia residents and businesses get the best possible experience over the AT&T network wherever they live, work and play.

These enhancements also support first responders and the extended public safety community on FirstNet, Built with AT&T – America’s public safety network. This new site brings Band 14 spectrum to the area. Band 14 is nationwide, high-quality spectrum set aside by the government specifically for FirstNet. We look at Band 14 as public safety’s VIP lane, delivering truly dedicated connectivity when needed. When not in use by FirstNet subscribers, AT&T customers can enjoy Band 14’s added coverage and capacity.

Created by the U.S. Congress, FirstNet was shaped by the first responder community’s vision following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It is built with AT&T in public-private partnership with the FirstNet Authority – an independent authority within the federal government.

“At AT&T, we know how important it is for our customers to stay connected. We are proud to invest in Butts County with wireless infrastructure necessary to connect in today’s digital world,” said Brian Barfield, Regional Director of External Affairs, AT&T Georgia. “With enhanced wireless coverage, our customers will be able to experience better network connectivity that will help with virtual learning, responding to emergencies and connecting with one another.”

From 2020 to 2024, AT&T invested more than $16.9 billion in our wireless and wireline networks in Georgia. These investments boost reliability, coverage, speed and overall performance for residents and their businesses.
