AT&T launches 3G wireless broadband in Delray Beach
Ladies and gentlemen, start your downloads.
AT&T rolled out its 3G wireless broadband service in Delray Beach this week.
The network cell site is located on Lomond Hills Trail near Florida’s Turnpike. It extends high-speed wireless coverage from Lomond Hills Trail north to Atlantic Avenue, south to Clint Moore Road, west to the turnpike and east to Jog Road.
Much of Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast already have coverage, although the company expects to complete its network in St. Lucie and Indian River counties by the end of this year.
What’s the big deal? 3G delivers download speeds ranging from 600 to 1,400 kilobits a second and upload speeds of 500 to 800 kilobits. That should make it easier to watch TV on the wireless Web.
