AT&T Answers the Need for Speed in Bergen County

   Company Delivers Ultra Fast Wireless Access to Mobile Applications and

                     Interactive Content in More Places



    MONTVALE, N.J., Aug. 21 /EMWNews/ -- Watch video on the

go. Surf the wireless Internet at DSL-like speeds. Share live video during

a cell phone call. AT&T (NYSE: T) announced today these services and more

are available on the ultra fast third-generation (3G) mobile broadband

network throughout northern Bergen County.



    With the addition of 3G technology to five cell sites, the 3G network

is available in Montvale, Park Ridge, Mahwah, Ramsey and Upper Saddle

River. The network has also been enhanced along route 17 and the Garden

State Parkway.



    "AT&T is committed to providing customers fast and dependable wireless

connections to a vast selection of data functions such as downloading live

video, web browsing, and checking e-mail on the iPhone 3G or other AT&T

device," said Tom DeVito, vice president and general manager for AT&T's

wireless unit in New Jersey and New York. "More consumers and businesses

have access to the ultra fast 3G network and more calls connect and stay

connected throughout northern Bergen County."



    Benefits of the AT&T 3G Network



    AT&T's 3G network provides the simultaneous delivery of voice and data

-- a capability not offered by all wireless providers. With a compatible 3G

device, consumers connect to razor-sharp clips through CV, an on-demand

streaming video service, and can quickly download games, pictures and the

latest music, entertainment, news and weather through MEdia(TM) Net, the

company's mobile Internet portal. The 3G network also enables consumers and

businesses to take advantage of ground-breaking new services such as the

App Store on the iPhone 3G which lets users browse applications from games

to business, education to entertainment, and productivity to social

networks. AT&T Video is another example of an industry-leading 3G

application that allows users to share live video over wireless phones

while carrying on a voice call. Road warriors can use their device as a

wireless modem for their laptop and dial into a conference call at the same

time.



    AT&T's LaptopConnect helps mobile business users be more productive

with quick access to large files or corporate applications. All that's

required is a LaptopConnect card or a laptop with embedded 3G service,

software and an AT&T data plan.



    AT&T uses HSPA/UMTS (High Speed Packet Access/Universal Mobile

Telephone System) technology, which is based on the world standard GSM

(Global Systems for Mobile Communications). The technology enables

customers to simultaneously use voice and data features -- something not

available with all carriers. According to data from leading third party

researchers who specialize in testing mobile networks, AT&T has the

nation's fastest 3G network providing the fastest downlink and uplink data

speeds.



    The 3G network is available in more than 305 metropolitan areas

including New Jersey and metropolitan New York and is expected to reach

nearly 350 by year end. AT&T offers 3G data roaming in more than 60

countries and voice calling in more than 200. Customers can also use their

wireless services aboard 120 cruise ships worldwide.
