Posted on: Monday, 14 January 2008, 12:00 CST
Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site in Pittsburgh that improves Verizon Wireless' voice and data network from Center Avenue south to the Boulevard of the Allies and east from Grant Street to the Birmingham Bridge.
With the improved network coverage, more customers can use their wireless phones to make calls; send and receive e-mail and text, picture and video messages; download music, games and ringtones; and view high-quality videos while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.
"Network reliability is the No. 1 reason that customers choose and stay with Verizon Wireless," said Roger Tang, president -- Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia region, Verizon Wireless. "Getting through on the first try and maintaining a connection are important to our customers. We continue to optimize our network so that it remains reliable."
This new cell site is part of Verizon Wireless' continual effort to expand coverage, increase capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Pennsylvania and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $40 billion since it was formed -- more than $5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. Last year, the company invested more than $235 million in its Pennsylvania network improvements.
