Following the merger of Cingular Wireless and the former AT&T Wireless networks in 2006, Cingular wireless broadband services are now available in most major markets in America; and apparently their broadband products/service offerings have also been expanded.

Cingular Wireless (a joint venture between AT&T Inc. and BellSouth Corporation -which is sometimes called Singular Wireless as well) is one of the largest wireless service providers in the United States, serving well over 50 million customers. What is not so known about Cingular's wirless product offering is that they have one of largest digital voice and data network in the nation. Its third generation (3G) wireless technology based network uses HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) technology to service its voice and data-services clients.

Wireless broadband has been traditionally used for backhauling massive amounts of data over dedicated wireless links, with wireless paths often spanning over tens (if not hundreds) of miles.

Broadband has alson been extensively used not only to provide large data pipes, but also as a fail-over backup (for their primary data pipes) by many medium to large-scale businesses.

Whereas setting up wired broadband links for providing high-bandwidth connectivity between corporate buildings, university campuses, and business locations has historically been an expensive option; wireless broadband is now being increasingly considered as one of the most cost-effective ways (no need to dig up trenches, run bundles of wires underground, right of way issues, etc.) to ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity.
