94.3 THE WOLF Country That'll Make You Howl!
Representatives from AT&T Kentucky joined government officials from Hardin County and Elizabethtown as the communications company announced the addition of a new cell site southeast of Glendale.
AT&T says the new tower will “enhance Hardin County’s coverage and capacity” and “boost coverage for travelers and businesses in the area of Interstate 65 and U.S. Route 31W.”
The tower also provides a boost for FirstNet, the cellular network exclusive for first responders and public safety officials
“We are big-time, long-time customers of AT&T FirstNet,” said Hardin County EMS Director Mark Peterson. “They are mission-critical for what we do on a daily basis, and we’re excited to have this expansion in our area that’s going to help us and further our technology into the southern and western parts of the county.”
The expansion goes along with other county goals of improving public safety ahead of anticipated growth in the area, including the recent approval for technology upgrades for Hardin County E911.
AT&T Kentucky President Carlos Sanchez said the company wants to support those goals.
“AT&T is the company that supports law enforcement and first responders exclusively nationwide, and this tower is very important for us and is going to make a huge difference in coverage and capacity in Hardin County,” Sanchez said.
AT&T says the new tower will include 5G coverage for business and residential use and Band 14 spectrum coverage for FirstNet users.
