AT&T is proud to have the nation’s best and also fastest wireless network,1 as well as the largest network in North America.2 From 2017-2019, we invested more than $1.3 billion in our wireless and wireline networks in New Jersey to expand coverage and improve connectivity in more communities.
That investment has increased reliability, coverage and overall performance for residents and businesses, which is essential for connecting our customers with family, friends and colleagues – no matter the distance. It’s also improved critical communications services for New Jersey’s first responders using the FirstNet network.
Today, our 4G LTE network covers more than 330 million people.3 That’s more than 2.61 million square miles and over 99% of all Americans.4
"We know that our continued investment in New Jersey is vital to keeping people connected."
Charlene Brown – President, AT&T New Jersey
“We know that our continued investment in New Jersey is vital to keeping people connected – from public safety personnel during a crisis to friends, family and loved ones on a daily basis,” said Charlene Brown, president, AT&T New Jersey.
