Verizon Wireless Bolsters 3G Wireless Network in Massachusetts

Verizon Wireless said that it is investing in Barnstable County, Massachusetts to stay ahead of rising demand for wireless voice, 3G multimedia and Internet access.

Regionally, Verizon reported it has invested more than $2.5 billion into its New England network over the past nine years, including more than $105 million during the first six months of 2009. The new cell site provides increased wireless voice and 3G data coverage along Phinney's Lane, Route 132, and parts of Route 6 in Hyannis, as well as the surrounding areas.

"We've invested billions of dollars into New England believing that every cell phone is only as good as the network it runs on," said Richard Enright, director for Network System Performance for Verizon Wireless. "Our continued aggressive network investments provide customers with a 3G network advantage at home and on vacation."

Verizon further noted it has invested more than $50 billion since its inception to increase the wireless voice and data coverage of its national network and to add new 3G services like Mobile Broadband and V Cast.
