Good news for real estate agents and all other heavy cell phone users.
Wireless service should soon get better and offer more advanced features around Greenville, Spartanburg and Clemson. At&T will upgrade and expand service including deployment of third generation 3G broadband mobile network in early 2008. According to wikipedia.com : "3G technologies enable network operators to offer users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency. Services include wide-area wireless voice telephony and broadband wireless data, all in a mobile environment. Typically, they provide service at 5-10 Mb per second".
For mobile services users that means not only improved voice access, but also high speed internet, data transfer and wireless entertainment with quality comparable to that at home and in office.
Following cell sites/towers will be added:
- State Scenic Highway 11, east of Table Rock State Park
- North of Highway 492 (Pelham Road) in Greer
- Eastern Spartanburg
- U.S. Highway 221 and the surrounding commercial and residential areas in Spartanburg
Since 2004, At&T has invested nearly $230 million on wireless service adding capacity and growing its 3G network in South Carolina.
