AT&T said this week it has expanded its 5G Network service in New Jersey to more areas of the state giving business and residential customers greater mobile internet connectivity.
These enhancements also bring Band 14 spectrum to the area. Band 14 is nationwide, high-quality spectrum set aside by the government specifically for FirstNet. In an emergency, this band – or lane – can be cleared and locked just for FirstNet subscribers. When not in use by FirstNet subscribers, AT&T customers can enjoy Band 14’s added coverage and capacity.
“At AT&T, we’re continuing to invest in our mobile broadband network in counties and communities across the state to make connections easier for residents, visitors, businesses and first responders throughout New Jersey,” said AT&T New Jersey President Joseph Divis. “These investments add to the quality of life, commercial vitality, innovative spirit and economic competitiveness of the state.”
