AT&T* added a new cell site to expand 5G coverage and capacity across Bethlehem, helping residents, businesses and public safety on FirstNet® get more from their mobile devices.

A new site southwest of Bethlehem boosts coverage west of Highway 11 along Tanners Bridge Road. 

“Reliable wireless connectivity is essential for Barrow County’s residents, businesses and first responders. We appreciate AT&T’s investment in modern wireless infrastructure and its continued commitment to expanding and strengthening 5G connectivity in our county,” said Pat Graham, Chairman of the Barrow County Board of Commissioners. “Investments like this help support economic opportunity, keep our community connected and prepare Barrow County for the future.”

“Enhanced wireless connectivity can help first responders communicate quickly and reliably when our community needs us most,” said Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith. “AT&T’s investment in this new cell site is an important investment that will support emergency response capabilities and help first responders better serve and protect the people of Barrow County.”
