AT&T invested more than $1.3billion in New York during 2014-2016

AT&T invested more than $1.3billion in New York wired and wireless networks during 2014-2016. These investments drive a wide range of upgrades to reliability, coverage, speed and overall performance for residents and businesses. They also improve critical services that support public safety and first responders.

“We’re committed to providing our customers fast, reliable, and secure connectivity from their wireless device, “ said Marissa Shorenstein, New York president, AT&T. “Our continued investment in New York also helps create new, innovative opportunities for consumers and businesses.”

The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) recently chose AT&T to build a nationwide public safety broadband network. The network will be dedicated to America’s police, firefighters, EMS personnel and other first responders when they need it. Should New York opt-in to the FirstNet network, we will build upon our current and planned investments with a dedicated focus on the state’s first responders.

And we would expect to make a significant investment to upgrade and maintain New York’s FirstNet network over the next 25 years, bringing your first responders the coverage, value and experience they expect.
