“We’ve seen the demand for mobile broadband grow dramatically. 4G LTE is the latest generation of mobile wireless technology and will give customers what they want, faster mobile Internet on some of the latest devices,” said Mike Todd, Alaska Communications senior vice president of technology services.

“Alaska Communications’ 4G LTE changes the way Alaskans use their wireless devices at home, at work and everywhere in between. Customers will be able to watch HD video on their phone, email files for business in seconds and use real-time video applications like Skype without stalling,” Todd added.
