Paris, Kentucky, Residents to Benefit From Verizon Wireless Network Enhancements
New Cell Site Means Clearer Reception, Fewer Dropped Calls
PARIS, Ky., Sept. 9 -- Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site in Paris, which improves voice and data coverage along the following major roads:
-- State Road 57 between State Road 1678 and State Road 627
-- State Road 1678 between Southland Drive and the Bourbon/Clark county
line
-- State Road 627 between Pretty Run Road and Spears Mill Road
The new cell site, which is equipped with a permanent backup generator for times of emergency, empowers more Verizon Wireless customers to rely on their wireless phones for social networking, Internet browsing, downloading apps, exchanging email and text, picture and video messaging as well as making calls.
"Our customers rely on their wireless devices for virtually all of their communication needs," said David MacBeth, executive director-Network, Kentucky/Indiana/Michigan Region, Verizon Wireless. "Ten years ago, ensuring they could make clear calls and stay connected was our top priority. That still is and always will be important. Additionally though, we closely monitor all other network usage, such as Internet browsing and downloading apps or music, and make improvements accordingly, so that our customers' experience on our network is seamless regardless of how they want to use their phone."
Verizon Wireless has invested more than $60 billion since it was formed - $5.7 billion on average every year - to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services. Since 2000, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $307 million on improvements to its wireless network in Kentucky.
