AT&T to deploy HSPA+ in certain locations on the way to LTE

Saturday, March 13, 2010 - 02:36 PM EST

FierceWireless Editor in Chief Sue Marek recently visited the AT&T Mobility offices in Atlanta and sat down with President and CEO Ralph de la Vega to discuss how AT&T is battling the competition in advertising, dealing with its data capacity challenges, and planning for its next phase in its network migration.

A snippet:

FierceWireless: Are you concerned about Verizon's rapid deployment of LTE? Are you planning to change your timetable to meet their schedule?

de la Vega: I think our approach is rock solid. We will continue to use the technology that we have because it can be upgraded; thus it allows us to continue to give our customers superior service. We have deployed HSPA 7.2 throughout the country, and now we are moving to make the backhaul better, which will increase speeds. We will also deploy HSPA+ in certain locations. When you look at LTE, our deployment is designed to fall back to HSPA. The beauty of our deployment is that it will come at the right time, when devices are available and devices will fall back to the high speeds that are available. With LTE, we think that there will be a lack of devices in the short-term. Our deployment is designed around those devices, so our network will come at the time when the devices are available.

FierceWireless: You said you are looking to do HSPA+ in certain locations. Where will you deploy it?

de la Vega: We are still working that out.
