AT&T boosting service at Lockn’ Music Festival

AFP

AT&TThousands are coming together to enjoy the Lockn’ Music Festival.  AT&T is keeping the data-hungry crowds connected. We’re bringing in extra network support so customers can show their friends and family the great time they’re having.

Here’s how. We’re bringing in one cell tower on wheels (COW) to get ready for the large number of smartphone users at Lockn’. The COW boosts the internet connectivity. The improved coverage will give customers faster and more reliable connections as the event runs through August 28th.

“Events like Lockn’ Music Festival are full of moments customers want to share through texts, pictures, status updates and phone calls,” said J. Michael Schweder, president of AT&T Mid-Atlantic. “We’re working to give them great coverage and fast speeds.”

For more information about AT&T’s coverage visit the AT&T Coverage Viewer. For updates on the AT&T wireless network, please visit the AT&T network news page.
