Conn. Governor Announces $6M AT&T Wireless Expansion Along New Haven Line

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) announced Monday that more than 30 new sites along the New Haven rail line now have enhanced wireless services. Expanding high-speed networks is "critical if we want to be ahead of the curve on technology that makes our state even more attractive to workers and employers," Lamont said. The project, funded by a $6 million investment from AT&T, is now fully operational through high-powered macro towers and compact small cell nodes. Lamont noted that the New Haven Line is the busiest commuter rail route in the U.S., and five additional sites are expected to launch "later this year."
