Company Expanding Network Coverage and Adding New Services in 2006


PARSIPPANY, N.J., April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Cingular Wireless will invest $400 million this year on network improvements that will ensure customers continue receiving unsurpassed wireless coverage and more services throughout metropolitan New York, including New Jersey, Long Island, and Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties. Cingular has spent more than one billion dollars on network improvements in these areas over the past three years.
Recent drive tests by a leading wireless research company show Cingular's network performance was second to none in completing and holding a wireless call in metropolitan New York and northern New Jersey. The results were based on tests conducted recently that provide information, insight and performance measurements for the wireless industry.

"Delivering the best network experience is our top priority," said Tom DeVito, Cingular Wireless vice president and general manager, New York/New Jersey. "We're working to bring our customers expanded coverage; exceptional value and the industry's most desirable wireless devices. Independent drive test results show no one has a better wireless network in the metro NY area."

Nationally, Cingular expects to spend about $6.5 billion in 2006, which will bring the company's network investment since the beginning of 2005 to $13 billion.

This year, the company's investment in metropolitan New York includes the addition of 200 new cell sites, plus portable and permanent generators. "As a leader in designing innovative ways to provide better wireless coverage inside buildings, Cingular has expanded its indoor wireless network throughout New York City to better serve customers as they travel New York's subways and airports and within several of the Manhattan's tallest skyscrapers." said Stephen Breheny, Cingular Wireless director of Network Services, New York/New Jersey.

For example, the company is the only carrier to provide track-level wireless coverage in Grand Central Station and the 33rd Street Path station in Manhattan, as well as the Pavonia - Newport Path station in New Jersey.


Cingular also provides indoor coverage in the follow public venues:

- Penn Station, New York City
- Madison Square Garden
- Shea, Yankee and Giant Stadiums
- JFK, LaGuardia and Newark airports
- Journal Square Path station in New Jersey

Cingular's network enhancements include the addition of more than 200 new cell sites this year to expand and improve coverage throughout metro New York and northern New Jersey, including:


- New York City: More than 30 new cell sites are planned: 15 in
Manhattan, five in Queens, four in Brooklyn and the Bronx, as well as
two in Staten Island.

- Long Island: Cingular expects to turn on-air more than 35 new cell
sites in Nassau and Suffolk counties to better serve customers
traveling from Manhattan to the Hamptons this summer.

- Westchester/Rockland: Customers will experience enhanced coverage with
the addition of 15 new sites.

- Northern/Central New Jersey: 40 new cell sites are planned, including
13 in Essex county, 12 in Bergen county, 10 in Hudson county, and five
in Middlesex and three in Hunterdon counties.

- Western New Jersey: Coverage will be expanded with 40 new cell sites
in Morris, Sussex, Warren, Passaic, and Somerset counties.

- Jersey Shore: At least 10 new cell sites are scheduled to be turned on
air to enhance coverage for customers traveling shore routes in
Monmouth and Ocean counties.
