Connecting New Mexico to Greater Possibility

Investing in our Communities

In New Mexico, we invested nearly $150 million in our wireless and wireline network infrastructure from 2020-2022 to connect more people to greater possibility.

Cities and communities throughout New Mexico are seeing the impacts of this investment, including:

  • Nearly $50 million in Albuquerque
  • More than $6.3 million in Las Cruces
  • More than $5.2 million in Santa Fe

We know how important it is for our customers to stay connected through life’s defining moments, whether you’re celebrating or grieving, learning or working, creating or sharing. That’s why we’re focused on boosting network reliability and capacity as we expand our network. We’re working to help residents get the best possible AT&T experience wherever they live, work and play.

Committed to expanding connectivity, our investment focuses on all facets of the network —including fiber, 5G and FirstNet,® Built with AT&T.

  • Supporting First Responders by Expanding the Nation’s Public Safety Network: As America’s public safety communications partner, we’re giving more of the public safety community access to their network. With FirstNet, we’re helping connect first responders in more than 60 communities across the state.
    • FirstNet includes unique benefits for first responders like always-on priority and preemption, high-quality Band 14 spectrum and a one-of-a-kind 5G experience to keep public safety mission ready.
    • We’ve rolled out Band 14 on more than 400 sites across New Mexico to provide public safety with truly dedicated coverage and capacity when they need it. Areas currently benefiting from Band 14 include Sun Juan, Colfax and Grant counties.

At AT&T, we believe every American should be connected to the internet and we’re working with governments and non-profit organizations to make it happen. We’re on track to deliver on our $2B commitment between 2021-2023 to help bridge the digital divide and tackle barriers to broadband access, adoption and affordability.

  • AT&T is participating in the FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)to help make broadband more affordable for millions of American households. In New Mexico, eligible households can apply the federal benefit to AT&T wireless plans with data, such as PREPAID1 and Cricket Wireless.”
  • We created AT&T Connected Learning to invest in digital inclusion, digital literacy and digital learning solutions to help today’s students and their families succeed wherever they learn – at home, in the community and in the classroom.
  • With 23 Connected Learning Centers already open across the U.S., we’ve announced plans to reach 50 total centers nationwide, including at Boys & Girls Clubs.
  • In New Mexico, we’ve held 13 digital literacy workshops as part of our commitment to help bridge the digital divide.
