Verizon Wireless Expands Network Coverage in New Jersey With New Ramtown Cell Site
-- Enhanced cell sites keep residents connected to email, music & mobile Web -- Network expansion will make service faster and more reliable -- Verizon continues to add new cell sites and capacity to bolster its already industry-leading 3G network
WARREN, N.J., Aug. 18 -- Verizon Wireless, provider of the nation's largest and most reliable 3G network, today announced the activation of a new cell site in Ramtown, New Jersey. Wireless calling, text messaging and mobile Web surfing is now easier and faster for residents and visitors in the Monmouth County community, where the new cell site will serve the area north to south from Easy Street to East County Line Road and east to west along Allenwood Lakewood Road.
The expanded coverage and increased data capacity enables customers in this area to enjoy clearer reception, fewer dropped calls and quicker download speeds when using their wireless devices to talk, text, email, view high-quality videos and access VZ Navigator's turn-by-turn directions. Additionally, these network enhancements further boost Verizon Wireless' network reliability, particularly during emergencies such as power outages and extreme weather conditions when wireless communications are needed the most. These network enhancements are part of Verizon Wireless' aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the growing demand for the company's voice and data services.
"While we already have the largest and most reliable 3G network in the country, we're constantly working on ways to bolster the coverage area to provide our customers with the best service possible," said Pat Devlin, regional president. "With the huge increase in the number of Android and other smartphone owners, coverage and data capacity is now more important than ever. Verizon is making sure we stay ahead of the game by continually adding cell sites and capacity to ensure fast and reliable service to all our customers throughout New Jersey and the entire New York Metro area."
Nationally, one hundred real-life Verizon Wireless' test men and women drive more than 90 specially-equipped vehicles nearly one million miles each year on the country's most frequently traveled roadways to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.
