Cingular extends GSM network to La.

NEW ORLEANS-Cingular Wireless L.L.C. said its GSM network is available throughout Louisiana as part of the carrier’s plan to invest $85 million in its Louisiana network this year. Cingular noted its EDGE wireless data service is also available in Louisiana, which can be accessed using either the Sony Ericsson GC82 EDGE PC Card or Nokia Corp.’s 6200 handset.

Cingular recently acquired US Unwired Inc.’s operations in Louisiana and plans to upgrade the network in line with its nationwide GSM plans.
