sites serve the following areas: * New service in Menifee County
along Hwy. 460 near Frenchburg * Enhanced service in southwest
Lincoln County, along Hwy. 127 from Danville to Liberty and Hwy. 78
from Stanford to Hustonville. "These two new additions to our
network are part of Cingular's plan to provide the very best
possible wireless network to our customers across Kentucky," said
Jim Thorpe, vice president and regional manager for Cingular's
Tennessee and Kentucky market. "Whether you are a businessperson
calling Tokyo or a farmer checking the weather forecast on your
PDA, we want our customers to know they can count on Cingular."
Cingular Wireless plans to spend more than $85 million on its
Kentucky network before year-end, increasing coverage and capacity,
building more than 25 new cell sites, adding portable generators
and back-up batteries, and offering enhanced new features.
Significantly, Cingular recently launched its third-generation (3G)
wireless network technology in 16 major cities, with more to follow
across the country, including Louisville. With 3G, customers will
access information and applications at broadband speeds in the
office, on the road or at home. The service-via laptop data cards
or 3G-compatible phones this year-provides average mobile data
connections between 400-700 Kbps (kilobits per second) on the
downlink and bursts to more than a megabit per second. Cingular's
local investment is part of a more than $6 billion commitment to
enhance and expand its ALLOVER(R) network nationwide this year.
