Residents in Indianapolis, Indiana, Benefit from Verizon Wireless Network Enhancements

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless has activated two new cell sites in Indianapolis, which enable more customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls, send and receive email and text, picture and video messages, access the Internet, view high-quality videos, and download music, games and ringtones, while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.

The new cell sites, each of which is equipped with a permanent backup generator for times of emergency, improve voice and data coverage on the northwest side of Indianapolis and the west side of downtown Indianapolis, including the Indiana University-Purdue University campus, as well as along the following major roads:

• Interstate 65 between mile markers 114 and 116
• 10th Street between Belmont Avenue and West Street
• West Street between Michigan Street and 24th Street

"The most advanced device is only as good as the network it runs on. We aggressively invest in our Indiana network to increase coverage and capacity for our customers and to continue to elevate the bar in network reliability."
