Chris Green from AT&T’s Queensbury store, demonstrates a new AT&T wireless home phone.
At yesterday’s meeting of the Federation of Huletts Associations held in the Huletts firehouse, Arthur Borin, Dresden Town Councilman, arranged for representatives from AT&T to speak. The AT&T representatives spoke about some new products that AT&T is debuting on the Landing, now that their cell phone transmitters are working on the cell tower.
To begin, AT&T is still the only carrier on the tower. In 2011, the Federation of Associations sent a letter and petition to Verizon requesting service. There are no further updates at this time.
Chris Green, from AT&T’s Queensbury store, said that for all the products that AT&T offers, residents from Huletts Landing should contact the Queensbury store and speak to him or one of his associates.
The newest product is AT&T’s wireless home phone, which you can read about here. It works over a wireless connection and is not “hard wired.” This means that there may be some advantages in a storm where trees fall locally. However, the service does not work with fax machines, home security systems or credit card payment machines.
An AT&T wireless home phone was passed around for audience members to look at.
Mr. Green stated that AT&T is very happy with the way that the cell tower is functioning and that AT&T aims to be the leader in wireless service in the Adirondacks. He stated that a number of new towers are now either online or will be coming online soon and that AT&T’s network is expanding rapidly in the Adirondacks.
