Cingular launches 3G in Indianapolis
September 26, 2006
Indianapolis residents can now take advantage of Cingular's super-charged wireless network which is capable of providing customers with high-speed access to information in a world that has gone mobile. Customers can use the 3G network to access Cingular BroadbandConnect, which is available to nearly 35 million people in 52 communities throughout the United States.
"Make no mistake about it: Wireless users want the speed and services they've come to expect from their wired connections. And today Cingular is delivering on its promises to provide both the speed and reliability to our Indiana customers," says Brian Ducharme, Vice President/General Manager for Indiana and Michigan.
Cingular's 3G network is the first widely available service in the world to use HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) technology. HSDPA is the high-speed evolution of GSM/EDGE, which shares a common core network.
In 2005, Cingular initially launched the BroadbandConnect service in Austin (TX), Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Portland (OR), Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose (CA), Seattle, Tacoma (Wash.) and Washington, D.C.
"We're giving customers the ability to securely access information and applications at broadband speeds in the office, on the road or at home. With our 3G service, almost any spot in a city is a hot spot," said Ducharme. "BroadbandConnect complements our national high-speed EDGE data service, offering customers the flexibility and ubiquity required to be more productive as the world continues to go wireless."
