AT&T Enables 850MHz 3G In Atlanta, More Cities To Follow
August 11th, 2009 3:25 PM | by Albert
Today AT&T switched on their 850MHz 3G in Atlanta including downtown and parts of Fulton, DeKalb, North Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Fayette Counties.
So what’s the big deal? Isn’t it a step down from 1900MHz? Aren’t higher numbers better? Will it fry my brain? Well, no, no, and possibly. The 850MHz spectrum is actually better at penetrating through buildings so users should see an overall improvement in indoor reception.
If you’re not in Atlanta, fret not, as AT&T will be enabling the extra spectrum in other U.S. cities such as New York and San Francisco by the end of 2009.

AT&T To Use 850MHz Spectrum For 3G Access
June 24th, 2009 10:56 PM | by Albert
To alleviate congestion on the iPhone-filled 1900MHz spectrum, AT&T will be making the 850MHz spectrum available for 3G access. The net result should be increased capacity, improved coverage, and overall better experience. Sounds good to me. Expect the change within the next few months in the New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco areas.
