14 DAY TRIAL // Today, mobile phone carrier AT&T announced the upcoming availability of its first products to provide users with 4G LTE connectivity options, the AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G and AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G.
This summer, the wireless carrier will roll-out its LTE services in a number of five markets in the United States, namely Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.
However, the company also plans on bringing the new services to a number of 15 markets by the end of the ongoing year, so as to offer access to the enhanced connectivity options to a number of over 70 million Americans.
The AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G enables Windows users to easily connect to the carrier's LTE network, and also to enjoy access to the company's HSPA+ network where LTE is not available.
“They can also take advantage of unlimited usage on AT&T's entire national Wi-Fi network if using a post-paid data plan, and manage their connections and data usage with the preloaded AT&T Communication Manager,” the wireless carrier announced.
The AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G was designed to offer users the possibility share the LTE connection to a number of up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices in select markets.
Whether it comes to verifying the email address or to downloading a presentation, and even to browsing the Internet, the new LTE device can offer support for all of them without having to install additional software or getting through a complicated setup process.
“AT&T recognizes that customers want a consistent, responsive network performance from major cities to their neighborhood. Our deployment of 4G LTE technology backed by our nationwide HSPA+ network allows us to give customers a superior mobile broadband experience today and for years to come,” said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Devices, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets.
“As we begin to roll out our 4G LTE network this year, AT&T customers will be able to choose from several new LTE devices, starting with the AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G and AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G.”
The AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G will be released for $49.99 with two-year contracts and after a $50 mail-in-rebate, while the AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G should hit the shelves at $69.99 with 2-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate.
