Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site in Columbiana County,
Ohio, that expands network coverage and increases capacity, enabling
more customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls;
send and receive email and text, picture and video messages; and
download games and ringtones while enjoying clearer reception and fewer
dropped calls.
The new cell site improves Verizon Wireless’
voice and data network in portions of Columbiana County including:
South along State Route 11 from just north of Lodge Road to just north
of State Route 517;
South along State Route 164 from just north of Lodge Road to Adams
Road;
East along Miller Road from just west of Grafton Road to Woodville
Road.
“This network enhancement reflects our ongoing
commitment to meet the growing needs of our customers and to provide
them with the reliable, high quality service they expect from Verizon
Wireless,” said Roger Tang, president–Ohio/Pennsylvania/West
Virginia Region, Verizon Wireless.
“The value we offer our customers is closely
tied to our industry-leading customer retention,”
Tang said. “Wireless consumers today
understand that value is not defined by price alone. A major reason our
customers choose Verizon Wireless and stay with us is because we offer
the nation’s most reliable network.”
The new cell site in Columbiana County is part of Verizon Wireless’
continual effort to expand coverage, increase capacity and enhance the
quality of its wireless voice and data network in Ohio and throughout
the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since
it was formed—$5.5 billion on average every
year—to increase the coverage and capacity of
its national network and to add new services. Nearly $1.3 billion of
this investment has been spent in Ohio since 2000. In the first half of
2008, the company invested more than $196 million in its Ohio network
improvements.
