Verizon Extends Wireless Voice and Data Network to Athens County

Posted on: Thursday, 3 July 2008, 15:00 CDT

Verizon Wireless has extended its wireless voice and data network to Athens County, Ohio. The new network coverage comprises all of Athens County, including the city of Athens, the Ohio University main campus and Lake Hope State Park - as well as portions of Jackson, Vinton and Meigs counties.

The network expansion includes: the length of US Route 50 through Vinton and Athens counties from Coolville to Ratcliffburg; US Route 33 through Athens and Meigs counties from Nelsonville to Pomeroy; State Route 32 through Athens and Jackson counties from Coolville to Beaver and US Route 35 through Jackson County from Brocks Corner to Centerville.

According to the company, it has invested nearly $17 million in the expansion of its network and has constructed 46 new cell sites throughout the new markets.

Roger Tang, president of Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia region at Verizon Wireless, said: "Wireless consumers today understand that value is not defined by price alone. A major reason our customers choose Verizon Wireless and stay with us is because we offer the nation's most reliable network. And now, we offer that reliability directly to Athens County residents."
