Telekom Austria said that an independent audit by Systemics-PAB had shown its A1 LTE network offered the largest coverage in the country, with the operator stating that it has deployed the technology in all provincial capitals and major conurbations. In a statement Hannes Ametsreiter, Telekom Austria’s group CEO, said that by the end of 2012 more than one quarter of the population will have LTE coverage, with DC-HSPA+ 3G coverage for around 70 percent.
