AT&T Wireless has activated two new cell sites in Miami, one in Hollywood and one along Alligator Alley. The carrier also increased capacity in parts of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
This year, AT&T's has invested in its South Florida's network by adding eight new cell sites to Indian River, St. Lucie, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. The company added 3G service to three sites in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade.
About 50 cell sites got a boost of capacity to handle more voice and data demand in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
The new cell site in Hollywood is on N. Ocean Drive near the intersection of Sheridan Street and A-1-A, which adds mobile broadband coverage north to Dania Beach Boulevard and south near Hollywood Boulevard.
In Miami, the cell site expands coverage along S.W. 8th Street and S.W. 177th Avenue, also called Krome Avenue. Another one was added to S.W. 60th Street, improving coverage to the residential area near S.W. 56th Street, also called Miller Road, and S.W. 107th Avenue.
Along I-75, a site was added along Alligator Alley near mile marker 53.
