Verizon Wireless Expands America’s Largest 4G LTE Network
Oct 18, 2012– New Haven,USA (Techreleased) –Verizon Wireless announced that it has expanded 4G LTE service within New Haven and several adjacent shoreline communities today, October 18. With the introduction of the network in 23 new markets and expansion in 41 existing markets, the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is now available in more than 410 markets across the United States, surpassing its previously announced goal of providing its mobile broadband service in 400 markets by the end of this year. The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network covers roughly 4 out of 5 people in the U.S. – and more 4G LTE coverage than all other networks combined.
Verizon Wireless first launched its 4G LTE network in New Haven County in May of 2011. The expanded 4G LTE coverage area in New Haven and adjacent shoreline communities includes:
In addition to expanding its 4G LTE network in Connecticut, Verizon Wireless is also expanding and introducing the network elsewhere in New England, activating service in Augusta and Waterville, Maine on Oct. 18, and plans to launch Keene, Lebanon and Claremont, New Hampshire by the end of this year.
“In less than two years we’ve expanded 4G LTE coverage to over 400 markets nationwide,” said Christine Berberich, New England President for Verizon Wireless. “With today’s enhancements in New Haven County, more residents and visitors will be able to stay in touch with family, friends and colleagues, all at speeds up to 10 times faster than before. We continue expanding and enhancing our 4G LTE network across New England to provide our customers with the best wireless experience possible.”
Innovations with 4G LTE Technology
To date, Verizon Wireless has introduced 37 4G LTE-enabled devices, including smartphones, tablets, personal Wi-Fi hotspots and more since the network launched 22 months ago. Verizon Wireless customers can choose from the largest selection of 4G LTE devices and solutions to experience the nation’s fastest 4G network. The newest 4G LTE devices include the DROID RAZR™ M by Motorola and the Samsung Galaxy S® III. Details can be found at www.verizonwireless.com/4G LTE. Information on plans and pricing for consumers and businesses is available at www.verizonwireless.com/plans.
4G LTE Coverage and Speed
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 area, or when they travel to areas already covered by 4G LTE.
