AT&T Inc. has upgraded and expanded its wireless service to the Charleston area by launching new cell sites, the company said Friday.

The nation’s largest wireless carrier also said it will deploy its upgraded third-generation broadband mobile network in early 2008 to give customers the ability to access voice and high-speed data simultaneously.

“We want to provide the best service possible for all of our customers in Charleston, which we consider a major market in the Carolinas,” said Alison Hall, vice president and general manager for North and South Carolina. “These new cell sites, along with 3G deployment, help us to provide superior coverage to give customers an ‘invisible wire’ that extends their broadband experience beyond their office or home.”

AT&T is adding additional cell sites to strengthen coverage in the following areas:

* Commercial and residential areas of Summerville
* Interstate 526 in North Charleston
* Daniel Island Park
* Naval Weapons Station in Goose Creek
* Sullivan’s Island
* Kiawah Island
* Downtown Charleston
* West Ashley
* Johns Island and area surrounding Charleston Executive Airport
* Rutledge Avenue
* North Rhett Avenue, north of I-526 and the southern portion of the Naval Weapons Station in Goose Creek 		related information
