New Cell Site Helps Newark, CA Residents and Visitors Make More Calls and Connect to Text, E-mail, the Web and More
WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Wireless calling, text messaging and surfing the Web on the Verizon Wireless high-speed 3G network is now easier and faster for residents and travelers in Newark, CA, thanks to a new cell site near the East Bay in Northern California. The site expands 3G wireless coverage near the intersection of Newark Avenue and Jarvis and at Newark Avenue and Thornton Avenue. Additional coverage is included east on Edgewater Drive and Farnham and west on Jarvis and Haley Road.
The company's ongoing network investment in California now totals more than $5.7 billion. Since the company was formed, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $60 billion - $5.7 billion on average every year - to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services. In 2009 alone, Verizon Wireless invested $7 billion to expand and advance its network.
Later this year, Verizon Wireless plans to launch its 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless services in 25 to 30 markets nationally. LTE will offer customers who live, work or travel in these markets significantly greater speed and capabilities than even today's most advanced 3G coverage.
