Verizon Communications Inc. VZ, Invests $123 Million to Enhance NY/NJ Metro Area Network in First Half of 2009
Verizon Communications Inc.
Verizon Wireless today announced it has invested more than $123 million to enhance its wireless voice and 3G high-speed data network in Metro New York and New Jersey in just the first six months of 2009.
The investment in New York City; Long Island; Rockland, Westchester and Putnam counties in New York; and Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, Sussex and Somerset counties in New Jersey, is part of more than $2.2 billion invested in the region and $50 billion invested across the nation since the company was formed in 2000. Local network enhancements during the first part of this year include:
Activating 40 new cell sites to improve voice and data coverage and increase capacity including one to serve fans in Yankee Stadium.
Adding 12 new sites to increase 3G high-speed data capacity allowing customers to access advanced wireless service more reliably and at even faster broadband speeds.
Deploying a portable Cell on Wheels (COW) to boost coverage and capacity for the Belmont Stakes in June.
In addition, four New York Metro area technicians -- real life test men and women -- traveled some 12,000 miles in the first half of 2009 in test vehicles each equipped with phones, wireless data devices and computers to measure the quality of calls on Verizon Wireless and other carriers networks.
