Construction program enhances ability to make calls in mall areas
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Cingular Wireless, the nation's
largest wireless provider, is putting the finishing touches on an
aggressive plan to help shoppers stay in touch this holiday season --
and beyond -- even in shopping malls.
Cingular is using a system of unobtrusive cell sites located within
mall buildings linked to small antennas no larger than smoke
detectors located above ceiling tiles to distribute the wireless
signal throughout the mall. The result is better signal strength and
the ability of more customers to use their Cingular wireless phones.
The build-out program is part of an announced $58 million
construction program for 2004, which has added more than 200 new cell
sites in Missouri and Kansas.
Below is a list of the malls that have benefited from increased

* St. Louis -- Four malls in St. Louis are benefiting from the

West County.
* Springfield -- Battlefield Mall and Bass Pro Shop.
* Kansas City -- Independence Mall.
* Wichita, KS -- Towne West Mall.
