Derry and Londonderry, New Hampshire Residents to Benefit from Verizon Wireless Network Expansion
LONDONDERRY, N.H., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to
provide the best wireless service for local residents inRockingham County,
Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases
high-speed wireless data coverage and capacity along I-93, Route 102 and Route
28 inLondonderry andDerry, New Hampshire, as well as the surrounding area.
Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed to
increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new
services like BroadbandAccess and V CAST. Regionally the company has invested
over $2.2 billion into its New England network, including over $100 million
during the first six months of 2008. As a result of these investments, every
Verizon Wireless cell site in New England provides wireless broadband
connectivity.
"We've always believed that even the most advanced cell phone is only as
good as the network it runs on," said director for Network Systems Performance
for Verizon Wireless, Richard Enright. "We continue to aggressively invest
into our wireless networks across New England to increase coverage and
capacity for our customers."
BroadbandAccess offers computer users the nation's most reliable
high-speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload
speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4
mbps over Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess with EV-DO Revision A network.
V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia
services to wireless phones.
Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the second
quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers and, for
the fifteenth consecutive quarter, reported the lowest customer turnover
(highest customer loyalty) rate in the wireless industry.
The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is
based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women
throughout the country who inspired the "can you hear me now" national
advertising campaign. Nationally, these test men and women drive nearly 100
specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 miles annually on Interstate,
U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in
high-population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to confirm that voice
calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay
connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more
than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests
annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.
