AT&T Wireless customers in Montgomery County, rejoice.
The network has announced that it has installed a new 3G cell site that should improve high-speed coverage in Ambler, Fort Washington and Upper Dublin Township, according to a press release. Commuters trekking down Routes 309 and 152 should notice the upgrades as well.
The installation is the latest of six tower upgrades in the county. AT&T says it invested $775 million into infrastructure improvements in Pennsylvania from 2006 to 2008. Though the company makes mention of high-speed HSPA 7.2 technology, available in newer devices like the iPhone 3G, the upgrade still isn’t available in the region. Expect it later this year or in 2011, the company says.
