INDIANAPOLIS, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Looks like the college
basketball teams aren't the only ones getting ready for the games
this weekend in Indianapolis. With network traffic already above
normal, Cingular's network team is getting in the game this weekend
to ensure customer calls go through without a hitch. Cingular has
doubled overall capacity at the Dome and tripled the data capacity
in Indianapolis to eliminate any blocking of calls for customers
attending the game. "Cingular's Indianapolis team knows how to add
capacity. They do it every year for the Indy 500," said Fred
Ogline, Executive Director for Network Operations. "We are
confident in our ability to provide our customers with coverage
they can count on." Additionally, the carrier has its team standing
by to monitor the basketball action and the Cingular network. So go
on and make those calls and send those photos while at the game --
you can be sure the Cingular network will pass your calls without
any fouls. "Preparation for large events like the Final Four is a
key aspect of our network planning, but we are also investing for
the future," said Brian Ducharme, vice president and general
manager for the Indiana / Michigan market. "We are investing over
$25 million in our network in Indiana this year and we will add
nearly 100 new sites to enhance coverage for our customers this
year." ABOUT CINGULAR WIRELESS Cingular Wireless is the largest
