ROCHESTER, NY — Verizon Wireless has introduced CDMA digital wireless service to the Olean area with the addition of two new digital cell sites. CDMA (code division multiple access) digital wireless technology provides wireless users with greater call clarity and security, longer battery life and talk time, and the ability to use advanced wireless services such as Internet access and text messaging.

"By bringing CDMA digital service to the Olean area, we're providing our local business and consumer customers with the technology and capabilities they've been asking for," said Tracy Nolan, president of Verizon Wireless' Upstate New York region. "Digital service subscribers will notice an immediate difference in the quality of their calls and longer battery life."

CDMA digital wireless service transmits calls as a series of binary ones and zeroes, as opposed to continuous radio waves transmitted by analog service, for crystal-clear communication. CDMA also encodes each call for superior wireless security. CDMA digital handsets transmit at much lower power levels than analog handsets for significantly longer battery life and talk time, and users have the ability to access the Internet and send a text message from their digital wireless phone.

Verizon Wireless offers a variety of digital wireless handsets and service plans, including the DigitalChoice 300 plan for $39.99 monthly access.
