AT&T is now on a level with rival Verizon Wireless in 4G coverage, with the move raising AT&T’s total LTE markets to 500.
The company is however lagging behind in total population coverage. Verizon’s LTE footprint reaches further outside cities and towns, covering surrounding areas.
AT&T’s network touches 270 million people, while Verizon reaching approximately 300 million.
AT&T has not completed its 4G expansion, while Verizon has concluded its roll-out and is now focusing on adding capacity to its LTE network. Analysts say that it is likely that AT&T will add more cell sites in the coming months.
