AT&T's 3G upgrades to increase iPhone service

Apple said on that it sold greater million through the iPhone 3G S model worldwide this past weekend bash phone continued sale Friday. How many of those phones were activated on AT&T's network at the U.S. isn't yet known, having said that the addition more data intensive iPhones most probably will put a strain at the carrier's network.

That said, AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel told the blog Gearlog on Tuesday your company is ready to your onslaught of the latest iPhone users. One necessity it will be doing to is upgrading its network so it will give 3G wireless service having its 850MHz spectrum licenses. In short, AT&T has actually been using spectrum within your 1900 MHz band to offer its 3G services, where there are become saturated, Gearlog explains. In other words as 3D hello kitty iphone 5 case AT&T sells more 3G devices, including the iPhone, it really is cramming more users into an extremely crowded spectrum band.

This could explain why some users have complained of dropped calls and slow Net connections considering the iPhone 3G, an issue that CNET News suggested nearly a year ago following the iPhone 3G was already released. This challenge is considered particularly acute in large cities, such as Manhattan and Sf, where there can be described as concentrated base of iPhone users and in which the 1900MHz spectrum is predominant.

Siegel says that upgrading equipment to enable AT&T to play with its 850MHz spectrum for 3G services should help relieve part of the congestion issues. Mainly because the 850MHz spectrum was Gucci Galaxy Note 2 case at the lower end associated with the frequency band, it can travel longer distances and penetrate walls more easily than signals over a 1900MHz band.

When inquired on difficulties dropped will require iPhone 3G users in 2009, Siegel told CNET News the company appeared to be accommodating expand the component to its 3G network that utilizes a 850MHz band. In the past he downplayed the need for adding 850MHz spectrum for 3G services by saying that it "doesn't mean in conversation with a great experience on 1900MHz."

Now Siegel thinks that adding 850MHz will Chanel iPad Mini Case help a good improvement, using the Gearlog story.

"The 850, over the following few stimulated in individual markets, people notice the difference," he will be quoted as saying.

In addition to adding 850MHz 3G service, AT&T been specifically making other improvements to its network, along the lines of upgrading to the next iteration of HSDPA technology, that could be required to double download speeds on AT&T's network.
