AT&T Bolsters Mobile Broadband Coverage at Cornell University.

AT&T announced that it has expanded its mobile broadband coverage to West Campus residences at Cornell University by completing the installation of a new Distributed Antenna System to serve students throughout the West Campus House System complex.

"We want our customers to have a great network experience whatever they're doing whether that's making a call, checking e-mail, downloading apps, surfing the Internet or keeping your business mobile on your AT&T device," said Robert Holliday, vice president and general manager, AT&T Upstate/Western New York, in a release. "We're committed to our investment in the local wireless network, and providing enhanced wireless coverage at Cornell University is just one way that we're investing in New York State."

"I'm grateful for any and every opportunity to commend broadband enhancements and expansions throughout our region. We appreciate AT&T's continued investment to strengthen its local wireless network. It's a fundamental resource for Cornell residents and the community at large," said state Sen. Tom O'Mara (R-Big Flats), whose legislative district includes Cornell and all of the city of Ithaca. "Stronger, more accessible broadband networks and cutting-edge wireless technologies are critical to New York's economic and educational competitiveness. We're wise to encourage their development in every possible way."

A DAS installation consists of antennas that distribute AT&T's wireless network coverage throughout Cornell's campus.
