Verizon Wireless has announced that $96 million was invested in 2007 to enhance and improve its voice and data wireless network across North Carolina, increasing the company's seven-year investment to over $815 million.

Verizon has reported that the funds were used for adding and updating cell sites and other technologies to improve call quality, increase coverage areas and allow a variety of services for customers across North Carolina, with particular detail and investment across the eastern part of the state.

The company has claimed that the northeastern section of Greensboro received coverage enhancements as well as along Interstate 85 between Stem and Providence in the Raleigh-Durham area. Enhanced coverage in the western part of the state was seen in areas such as the eastern part of Morganton in Burke County and along Interstate 485, Highways 160, 521 and 321 throughout Charlotte.

Jerry Fountain, president of Carolinas/Tennessee region at Verizon Wireless, said: "Providing our customers with the most reliable network in the wireless industry means making these large scale investments every year to deliver dependable wireless coverage. By continually enhancing our network across North Carolina, we give residents more options for their wireless voice and data needs while advancing our goal to service the state from the mountains to the coast."
