AT&T upgrades 4G network in Jackson, Calhoun counties

AT&T has enhanced its 4G service throughout Jackson and Calhoun counties, upping the speed on downloads and data-sharing for customers.

The company has upgraded four mobile Internet cell sites for area residents and business, AT&T announced this week. Those living and working in Calhoun County should notice faster mobile speeds in Albion, especially along Michigan Avenue and northwest M-99, according to a news release.

In Jackson County, improved service can be found in Grass Lake and surrounding areas, including along I-94, north of Greenwood Road and west of Willis Road.

“Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience, and they’ll be able to download, upload, stream and game faster than ever before on our 4G LTE network,” Jim Murray, president AT&T Michigan, said in a statement. “As part of the Jackson and Calhoun communities, we’re always looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage, and our investment in the local wireless network is another way we’re accomplishing that.”

AT&T announced in January the launch of its 4G Long Term Evolution network to the Jackson community, as well as the Battle Creek area. The company also announced plans to expand its mobile Internet coverage in the Metro Detroit area and along I-96 from Grand Rapids to Lansing.

The 4G launch is part of the company’s three-year investment to expand its broadband networks and meet customer demand for high-speed Internet access and new mobile, application and cloud-based services.

The AT&T network allow businesses and residents to use their 4G-enabled devices to download and share data at speeds up to 10 times faster than customers on 3G networks.
