Verizon Wireless Launches 4G LTE Network in Dover Dec. 15
DOVER, Del., Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting tomorrow, Verizon Wireless customers in Dover can take advantage of Verizon Wireless' 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, the fastest 4G network in the nation. Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network allows customers to share music and photos, surf the Web, and download files up to 10 times faster than before.
"Our network is the largest 4G LTE network in the nation, now covering more than 200 million people in 190 markets across the United States," said Mario Turco, president of Verizon Wireless' Philadelphia Tri-State Region. "We are proud to bring our 4G LTE network to Dover so that residents, small businesses and local government can take advantage of the speed and connectivity offered by the next-generation network, which is continuing to push the boundaries of wireless communications."
4G LTE Devices and Plans
Verizon Wireless customers can purchase a variety of 4G LTE-enabled devices, including notebooks and netbooks; hotspots and modems; and smartphones and tablets, such as the two new DROID XYBOARD tablets by Motorola, to connect to the largest 4G LTE network in the nation. Details on each device can be found at http://www.verizonwireless.com/4GLTE and information on plans and pricing is available at http://www.verizonwireless.com/plans.
4G LTE Coverage and Speed
In addition to launching its network in Dover on December 15, the company is adding 10 other new markets and expanding its network in San Diego and San Francisco; Washington, D.C.; Savannah, Ga.; Chicagoland, Ill.; and Baltimore and Hagerstown, Md., for a total of 190 markets and more than 200 million people covered in 2011. In real-world, fully loaded network environments, Verizon Wireless 4G LTE customers should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.
When customers travel outside of a 4G LTE coverage area, 4G LTE devices automatically connect to Verizon Wireless' 3G network, enabling customers to stay connected from coast to coast. Verizon Wireless' 3G network is the most reliable high-speed data network in the country and allows customers in 3G coverage areas who purchase 4G LTE devices today to take advantage of 4G LTE speeds when the faster network becomes available in their city, or when they travel to an area already covered by 4G LTE.
