Cingular lights up Tulsa with 3G service

November 2, 2006

Cingular Wireless has launched its super-charged wireless network throughout greater Tulsa, capable of providing customers with high-speed access to voice or data information in a world that has gone mobile.

Cingular customers can now use its 3G mobile broadband network from Broken Arrow, and Coweta to Glenpool and Sand Springs, and from Skiatook to Owasso and Collinsville. The company plans to continue adding coverage to meet the market demands for service.

"Cingular customers can now more quickly access e-mail, browse the internet, connect to business applications, or watch video clips while on-the- go," said Lora Lee Laird, Cingular's director of sales for Oklahoma.

"Our 3G service gives them the ability to watch sports highlights on their phone while shopping or waiting to grab a seat at a restaurant. We're providing customers with an 'invisible wire' that extends their broadband experience beyond their office or home."

Personal Mobility - Fast And Furious

Customers who want to watch video highlights of the Golden Hurricanes or Sooners games, or get a preview of HBO's Entourage series, can see it all - and more - by signing up for Cingular Video. Cingular Video is an on-demand streaming video service with a large selection of popular mobile content that can be viewed on 3G-capable Cingular phones.

"We've tailored Cingular Video so that customers can quickly and easily personalize and access some of their favorite entertainment and information sites," said Laird. "Imagine a soccer mom who can now get regular weather video updates every 30 minutes from her phone on the way between her son or daughters activities."

Mobilizing Business At High-Speed

Utilizing its 3G network, Cingular's LaptopConnect solutions give businesses the ability to use their laptops to access the Internet or e-mail, download large files and attachments, or run corporate business applications at average data speeds between 400-700Kbps (kilobits per second) on the downlink, with bursts to more than a megabit per second.

"Businesses need the same fast reliable access to information whether they're working from a desktop in their office or making a presentation to a customer at an offsite location," Laird said. "They don't want to wait for a large contract to download or access their company's intranet site to check inventory status. With BroadbandConnect, they don't have to anymore."

Cingular LaptopConnect combines either an external LaptopConnect card or an integrated modem within a Laptop and Cingular's Communication Manager to provide access to the 3G network. The service also offers additional security features compared to alternative wireless technologies.
