AT&T is improving its network ahead of the busy holiday season.

A total of 140 cell sites throughout South Florida have been upgraded in order to increase data speeds and network performanc­e for customers.

The Broward County areas benefiting from the network upgrades include Lauderhill, Coral Springs, Tamarac, Plantation, Sunrise, among others.

“AT&T works hard to deliver a great network experience for our customers, wherever they are,” said AT&T Florida President Joe York. “That’s why we continue to invest in our South Florida networks. Our investment­s will help customers get the most out of their mobile devices.”

The telecommun­ications company has already invested almost $975 million towards its wireless and wired networks across Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Monroe counties between 2014 and 2016.

The telecommun­ications company also recently announced a round of hiring that is expected to add 65 new positions to its Sunrise call center.

The company said it was looking to hire individual­s to fill the role of call center sales representa­tive.

“There’s never been a more exciting time to work for AT&T than now,” said Joe York, the AT&T Florida president.

“We’re mobilizing video, securing business communicat­ions from the smartphone to the cloud, and making cars, homes, machines, even cities, smarter.”

The call center jobs are in Sunrise at 8650 W. Oakland Park Blvd.
