As part of its continuing network investment to support growing demand for advanced mobile devices and applications, AT&T* today announced the activation of one new mobile broadband cell site in Sedalia that will enhance coverage for area residents and businesses.

“We need continued investment in Colorado broadband networks and policies that encourage investment. If we are to remain competitive, we must provide businesses and citizens with the best technology no matter where they are located and create a framework for private investment to get there,” said Colorado State Senator Mark Scheffel.

“These investments in smart networks enhance economic growth and stimulate jobs,” said Bill Soards, president, AT&T Colorado. “We are at a time when policy makers can make critical decisions that will impact how we support Colorado’s broadband infrastructure. We commend the work of Senator Scheffel for supporting policies that create a positive economic environment, one that provides opportunities for companies like AT&T to continue to invest aggressively in Colorado.”

AT&T’s mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world.
