AU's Enhanced Cellular Phone Services

The university's excellent wireless infrastructure provides high-quality cell phone reception throughout the campus, making cell phones as reliable as traditional phones when using one of the university's participating carriers.

Verizon recently completed the installation of a new state-of-the-art cellular antenna system, which will ensure good connections, expanded bandwidth, and the provision of 4G LTE service for Verizon Wireless and AT&T customers in campus buildings.

Other cellular carriers are encouraged to join this infrastructure in the future.
