Additional Cell Site Upgraded to 4G LTE as Part of Ongoing AT&T Investment in Local Wireless Network MANSFIELD, MASS., July 10, 2013 As part of its continuing network investment and ongoing 4G LTE rollout, AT&T* has upgraded an additional mobile Internet cell site at the Mansfield amphitheater just in time for the busy summer concert season to expand AT&T 4G LTE coverage for concertgoers. AT&T has the nations fastest 4G LTE network.** AT&T 4G LTE is the latest generation of wireless network technology and provides several benefits for local residents, including faster mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G, improved performance and innovative new 4G LTE-compatible devices. AT&T launched its ultra-fast 4G LTE network in Boston in November 2011. The new cell site is one part of AT&Ts ongoing efforts to expand 4G LTE coverage and to drive investment and innovation to deliver the nations best, most advanced mobile Internet experience for customers. We want music fans in Mansfield to have an excellent network experience, whether theyre taking photos, texting their friends or surfing the Internet while they catch their favorite artists perform, said Patricia Jacobs, president, AT&T New England. As part of the Mansfield community, were always

looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage, and our investment in the local wireless network is another way were accomplishing that. AT&Ts 4G Network AT&Ts innovation and investment have resulted in the nations largest 4G network, covering more than 292 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. Our 4G LTE network delivered faster average download and upload speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld/TechHives most recent 20-market speed tests. AT&Ts 4G LTE network delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G***, as well as multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our networks radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isnt traveling as far. Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike some competitors, where smartphone customers may fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage. AT&Ts focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection technologies. AT&T operates the nations largest Wi-Fi network**** including more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers and provides access to more than 402,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesnt count against customers monthly wireless data plans.

AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging. Over the past five years, AT&T invested nearly $98 billion into its operations across the country. Since 2008, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. Investment Heroes.
