For Immediate Release:
LAS VEGAS – Wireless calling, text messaging and surfing the Web on the Verizon Wireless high-speed 3G network is now easier and faster for residents and travelers in Clark County, thanks to a new cell site near Cal-Nev-Ari. The site expands 3G wireless coverage along Highway 95 south from Cal-Nev-Ari toward the California border and east along Highway 163 into Laughlin.
The company’s ongoing network investment in Nevada now totals more than $550 million. Since the company was formed, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $60 billion – $5.7 billion on average every year – to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services. In 2009 alone, Verizon Wireless invested $7 billion to expand and advance its network.
Later this year, Verizon Wireless plans to launch its 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless services in 25 to 30 markets nationally. LTE will offer customers who live, work or travel in these markets significantly greater speed and capabilities than even today’s most advanced 3G coverage.
