From April 2022 to December 2022, AT&T launched new site builds and network enhancements in 9 locations across New Hampshire.
This includes new FirstNet Cell Sites in Gilmanton and Charlestown.
We launched new cell sites in Milford, Somersworth, Rochester, Lincoln and Rye, to enhance these areas’ 4G LTE coverage and help give residents and first responders faster, more reliable wireless service. This network enhancement also brings Band 14 spectrum to these areas.
AT&T also added a new cell tower in Raymond to enhance the area’s 4G LTE coverage and help give customers faster, more reliable wireless service.
AT&T Investments Connect Communities
In New Hampshire, we invested more than $100 million in our wireless networks from 2019-2021.
We know how important it is for our customers to stay connected. That’s why we’re focused on boosting network reliability and capacity as we expand our network nationwide. This helps residents get the best possible experience over the AT&T network where- they live, work and play, as well as supporting first responders on FirstNet®.
We are also working closely with local communities and government leaders in New Hampshire to expand access to high-speed internet. By combining the resources of the government and private sector, we can fast-track the closing of the digital divide regardless of income or zip code.
Committed to expanding connectivity, our investment focuses on all network layers—from fiber to 5G and FirstNet.
