US cableco AT&T has brought forward the date when it plans to complete the rollout of its LTE network in the US to the yearend of 2013.
It aims to launch the LTE service to customers in mid-2011.
It also announced in a statement on Wednesday that it had completed its deployment of HSPA+ to “virtually 100 percent” of its mobile broadband network. This will enable 4G speeds when it is combined with Ethernet or fibre backhaul.
The president and CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets, Ralph de la Vega, said at AT&T’s Developer Summit that AT&T was the only US company committed to both HSPA+ and LTE.
He said: “As we accelerate our LTE network build, our customers will have blazing fast LTE speeds and when they go off LTE, they will still have faster mobile broadband speeds with HSPA+ – something our competitors will not be able to match.”
