April 10, 2013

AT&T smartphone users in the Lansing area already enjoy fourth generation, or 4G, coverage, but according to the nation’s second-largest cellular service provider, coverage will be upgraded by the end of this summer to Long Term Evolution, or LTE, infrastructure.

4G LTE is the most recent innovation in the nation’s wireless communications infrastructure. According to AT&T, the service will be 10 times faster than 3G.

Androids, Windows smartphones and the iPhone 5 can get 4G LTE.

Verizon Wireless, the nation’s largest provider, already covers the Lansing area. Sprint, the third largest provider, still relies on 3G technology.
