AT&T Completes Nationwide 7.2 HSPA 3G Software Upgrade

AT&T has completed the software upgrade that prepares 3G cell sites across the US for the 7.2 HSPA upgrade. The 3G speed bump will come as an enhanced cell site backhaul is deployed over the course of 2010 and 2011.

The backhaul process has already begun in the initial test markets of Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Miami, and AT&T expects to have the majority of their 3G data traffic running on the 7.2 network by the end of the year. [PRNewswire]
