AT&T will enhance its network across Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort using more than 25 distributed antenna systems to increase wireless capability in areas with high mobile traffic. There will be 10 cell sites across the Walt Disney World Resort to provide wide-ranging mobile services to guests, and there will be more than 40 repeaters to enhance the mobile experience for guests and cast members.
