Investing in Connection and Community Across New Jersey

On May 20, 2024

In New Jersey, AT&T invested more than $1.9 billion in our network infrastructure from 2019-2023 to connect more people to greater possibility.

We understand how a connection can make the difference. That’s why our mission is to bring connectivity to everyone, no matter where they live or where they come from. From rural communities to urban areas, our overall wireless voice and data network covers more than 99% of all Americans, including New Jersey. We’re also ramping up performance in high traffic areas, such as airports, stadiums and venues, like Newark Liberty Airport, MetLife Stadium, and Red Bull Stadium in Harrison.

As America’s public safety communication partner, we are expanding and enhancing FirstNet to give the public safety community better access to their network. Setting the stage for first responder innovation over the next 10 years, the FirstNet Authority announced a series of strategic investments totaling more than $8 billion into FirstNet.

The latest network investment of $6.3 billion will enable AT&T to deliver a standalone FirstNet 5G core, provide always-on priority and preemption across all AT&T 5G commercial spectrum bands and build 1,000 new FirstNet sites across the country over the next two years. We’ve rolled out Band 14 on nearly 1,300 sites across New Jersey to provide public safety with truly dedicated coverage and capacity when they need it.

And, we’re not just investing in our network, we’re also investing in our communities. AT&T recently announced an additional $3 billion commitment by 2030 to help close the digital divide, bringing our total commitment to $5 billion since 2021. In New Jersey, we’ve collaborated with organizations like Hopeworks in Camden, the Salvation Army Atlantic City, Computers 4 People, and the NJ Association of Counties Foundation to help bridge the digital divide.
