AT&T to invest $90M in wireless network in Ill.
AT&T said today it will invest $90 million in its wireless network in Illinois this year, giving Chicagoans and others faster digital access and better connections inside buildings.
The company will add 60 new cell sites and increase capacity for wireless customers, said Terry Stenzel, vice president and general manager for AT&T's Illinois and Wisconsin markets.
The added investment will bring AT&T's three-year investment in Illinois to $375 million.
Stenzel said the deployment is based on technology, called GSM or Global System for Mobile Communication, that will eventually be a global standard, giving it leverage over a WiMAX mobile Internet network that rivals Comcast, Intel and Google plan to deploy.
