LYNCHBURG, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 14, 2006--Alltel Wireless
(NYSE: AT), America's largest network, today announced that it is
expanding its Axcess Broadband service to Lynchburg and surrounding
communities, including Charlottesville. This next generation EVDO
(evolution data optimized) technology provides customers with
unlimited wireless access to the Internet at speeds comparable to
wired broadband connections such as cable modem or DSL.
The Lynchburg coverage area stretches from Hollymead to Danville.
Axcess Broadband is also now available in Culpeper.
Alltel introduced Axcess Broadband in Richmond and Norfolk in
2005, and earlier this month the company enlarged the Norfolk coverage
to include Suffolk and areas south and east of Virginia Beach.
Axcess Broadband makes it easy to surf the Internet, access e-mail
and calendars and download large, graphic-rich files while on the go.
Using the service, customers can access advanced business, news and
entertainment applications from their laptops, smartphones or handsets
at average speeds of 400 to 700 Kbps with maximum speeds of up to 2.4
Mbps.
"Alltel Wireless is committed to meeting the growing data needs of
our customers," said Ron Senchak, vice president of business solutions
for Alltel Wireless in Virginia. "Axcess Broadband wireless Internet
service delivers an unmatched wireless broadband experience that will
keep both traveling business professionals and casual users connected
with the fastest and most reliable data services."
In the past year Alltel has introduced Axcess Broadband service in
metropolitan areas such as Charlotte, Tampa, Phoenix and Cleveland; in
smaller cities such as Wilmington and Raleigh, N.C., and in towns such
as Savannah, Ga., Dothan, Ala., and Durango, Colo.
Alltel plans to launch Axcess Broadband in additional markets
across the country in 2006 and 2007, giving it one of the largest EVDO
footprints of any U.S. carrier.
Axcess Broadband is available for $59.99 a month for unlimited use
with qualifying voice plans. In addition to supporting a wide range of
productivity enhancing business applications, it enables Alltel's
Axcess TV, with more than 25 channels, and XM radio, with 20 of the
best satellite radio music channels. To experience the high-speed
network, customers will need an EVDO-capable handset, such as the
silver or fire red MOTORAZR V3m, or a laptop PC data card, such as the
Kyocera Passport 1xEVDO PC Card.
