Verizon Wireless Expands Its Network In Warwick, Rhode Island6 October 2005
In a continuing effort to provide
the best wireless service for local residents in Kent County, Verizon
Wireless, operator of the nation's most reliable wireless network, has
expanded its network with a new cell site. The new site increases coverage
and capacity near TF Green Airport.
This network expansion is part of the company's aggressive multi-billion
dollar network investment each year (more than $1 billion every 90 days) to
stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless voice and data services.
The company invested more than $5.5 billion in its wireless network last year
as part of its commitment to offer customers the most reliable service
available in the nation, including wireless data services such as picture
messaging, text messaging, and the company's exclusive V CAST service. V
CAST, where available, brings TV and other multimedia services to wireless
phones over Verizon Wireless' high-speed BroadbandAccess wireless network.
BroadbandAccess offers customers the nation's largest high-speed wireless
broadband network, operating at average speeds between 400 kbps - 700 kbps.
Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the second
quarter of 2005 as the company added an industry record 1.9 million net new
customers, and maintained its position as the nation's wireless leader in
customer loyalty, setting an industry record for customer retention and lowest
turnover rate, as reported by the largest wireless providers.
The company's 'most reliable network' claim 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. These
engineers conduct more than 300,000 call attempts monthly on Verizon Wireless'
and other national carriers' networks while traveling over 100,000 miles a
month in specially equipped, company-owned test vehicles.
Note: If you are a member of the media and are interested in setting up an
interview or ride-along test drive with your local Verizon Wireless test man
or woman, please contact Wendy Bulawa at 617-851-3426.
