IRVINE, Calif., June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling, downloading apps and surfing the web on the Verizon Wireless 3G network is now easier and faster for residents and travelers in Riverside county, thanks to a new cell site in San Jacinto, California. The site expands 3G wireless coverage and capacity between Record Street and Esplanade Avenue along Ramona Expressway and the surrounding residential area.
Verizon Wireless has invested more than $6.5 billion in California's network since being founded in 2000. Nationally, the company has invested more than $65 billion over that same period to increase the coverage and capacity of its network, and to add new services.
In March, 2011, Verizon Wireless unveiled 59 markets that will benefit from the world's first large-scale 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network by the end of this year. These recently named areas, added to the 39 initial markets launched in December 2010 and 49 markets announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, mean that consumers and businesses in at least 147 U.S. cities will have access to the fastest, most advanced 4G mobile network in America. Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network already reaches 110 million people, more than one-third of all Americans.
