This will make properties more attractive – internet speeds up to 1 gigabit per second let residents quickly connect to the cloud, telecommute easily, video chat in real-time and stream the latest entertainment.”

“We’re thrilled to have AT&T bring their fastest internet service over the AT&T GigaPower network to our residents,” said David Moore, director at Hines, Wolf Point West. “We chose AT&T for their stellar reputation – and doing business with them is effortless. When AT&T brings fiber to the property, they are able to offer a better connectivity experience for our tenants, whether streaming music at the gym or live-streaming the stunning views from the top of the building.

“Having the most advanced technology available at Wolf Point West sets us apart from other locations looking to attract potential tenants,” said Moore.

AT&T also worked with Wolf Point West to also deliver a better wireless experience to residents. AT&T connected to a Distributed Antenna System (DAS), which is a network of multiple small antennas that provides enhanced AT&T wireless service and coverage. The DAS helps boost mobile internet coverage, expand capacity and improve reliability to make connectivity easy, accessible and an optimal experience for residents while in busy Wolf Point West common areas with a concentration of heavy-data users.

The AT&T GigaPower network launched in the Chicago area in the first half of 2015, and continues to expand into parts of new communities. The fiber network offers speeds up to 1Gbps to residents in more than 15 Chicago area properties, including New City, Xavier and more.⁴
