Can You Hear Me Now? AT&T Announces Network Improvements in Encinitas
Two years and nearly $700 million later, the phone company has reduced its dropped call rate by nearly 25 percent in the greater San Diego area.
AT&T announced Friday that it has made 25 total network improvements in Encinitas since 2011.
According to the company’s newly launched microsite, those upgrades include 11 capacity upgrades and 14 network connection upgrades. The goal is to reduce the amount of dropped calls and improve service during busy times.
In celebration of those changes, AT&T has partnered with Surf Diva, a locally based surf school that relies on wireless technology between instructors and students during lessons. AT&T plans to give Surf Diva 25 portable, waterproof devices and accessories for that purpose.
