AT&T plans to roll out 4G LTE in Detroit by the end of the year, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology and faster mobile Internet speeds.

"21st century jobs require 21st century infrastructure and that means advanced technology and fast connections," said Lt. Governor Brian Calley.

"High tech investment from great partners like AT&T is helping make Michigan's economic comeback possible. Thanks to investments like these, local job makers are staying connected better and faster than ever before, helping Michigan compete in the global economy."

LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers will be able to stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before on the latest LTE-compatible smartphones, tablets and devices.

"Detroit enjoys AT&T's fast 4G speeds today as part of the nation's largest 4G network, and our teams will be working hard across the city toward our upcoming 4G LTE launch," said Jim Murray, president of AT&T Michigan. "AT&T customers in Detroit can look forward to even faster speeds this year, on our leading lineup of smartphones, tablets and other devices."
