Cingular Announces Completion of Network Integration

Cingular Wireless announced today that it has completed it nationwide wireless network integration. Network integrations had started shortly after the merger of Cingular and the former AT&T Wireless in October 2004. Cingular states that the combining of the two networks has improved call quality and reduced dropped calls.

The integrated network has already paid dividends and provides a foundation for continued expansion. The job of building and enhancing the network will never be fully complete, not if we are going to continue exceeding our customers’ expectations. It’s the nature of our business.

The result of the integration currently gives customers access to nearly 47,000 cell sites throughout the country. The network integration was one of several initiatives the company funded as part of its $13 billion 2005/2006 capital investment to enhance network quality and coverage.
