Las Vegas Customers Receive More 3G Coverage With Two New Verizon Wireless Cell Sites
Investment increases consumer value as demand grows for calls, e-mail, text, Web, video and music
LAS VEGAS, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Las Vegas residents, businesses and visitors are enjoying improved service thanks to two new Verizon Wireless cell sites added in the first quarter. The sites expand 3G wireless coverage in:
- CityCenter, Las Vegas including the ARIA Resort & Casino; the Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas; The Vdara Hotel & Spa; Veer Towers and the Crystals retail and entertainment district
- In the Del Webb Sun City community and north Summerlin
The increase in coverage and capacity also means the network can carry more calls, e-mails, and text and picture messages in more places and offer greater wireless access to the Web.
The company's ongoing network investment in Nevada now totals more than $515 million. Nationally, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $55 billion since it was formed -- $5.5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services. The result is the nation's largest, most reliable 3G network that powers services such as Mobile Broadband and Mobile Email.
Businesses of any size can tap into the power of Mobile Broadband. The service allows users to connect to the Internet wirelessly while on the go to download music over the air and access e-mail or corporate data.
