AT&T's 4G LTE network comes to Cushing

AT&T has turned on the nation's fastest 4G LTE network in Cushing, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. Included will be faster speeds, new devices, faster response time and more efficient use of spectrum. Faster speeds LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to io times faster than 3G. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before. Cool new devices AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets. Faster response time LET technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services such as mobile gaming, twoway video calling and telemedicine. More efficient use of spectrum Wireless spectrum is a finite resource, and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better network experience. "We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Cushing responds to what customers want from their mobile experience more, faster, on the best devices," said Steve Gray, Vice President and General Manager for AT&T Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Twin Mounds 4-H Club shows judging expertise

Junior 4-H Judging Team members from the Twin Mounds 4-H Club took home plenty of awards from the 2013 State 4-H Judging Contest on April 13 at Oklahoma State University. More than 5o youngsters competed in the event by evaluating several classes of horses. Contestants from Twin Mounds, a club for homeschooled students, were Aubrey Snider, Lillie Snider, Spencer Oestmann and Joyce Grissom. They places second in the Top Overall Team Placings and fourth in Top Overall Placing and Reasons after winning multiple individual awards. Lillie was fifth and Spencer ninth in the Top Overall Individual Placings. Aubrey placed eighth in the Top Overall Individual Reasons. The team was coached by Dr. Tim Snider. "Hard work pays off. I think each of us came away from the contest with many lessons," Snider said. "One of the more important lessons other than public speaking and evaluation skills is having a first-hand understanding about the intensity of judging day."
