PITTSBURGH, PA — Verizon Wireless, the nation's leading wireless service provider, has activated a new digital cell site near Banksville Road that will improve service for customers who live near or travel along the often congested thoroughfare.
The new site will enhance both network coverage and capacity in areas near Brookline, Greentree and Mt. Lebanon. It will enable more customers to use the network concurrently and improve call quality for the many motorists who use Banksville Road at peak travel times, as well as for residents and businesses along the route.
"Banksville is among the city's most heavily traveled roads, especially at rush hour," said Roger Tang, president Ohio/Pennsylvania Region, Verizon Wireless. "While this traffic may at times be at a standstill, the 'traffic' on our network will flow smoothly now that we have activated our new cell site."
Already in 2004, Verizon Wireless has spent nearly a half-billion dollars to enhance its network in Pennsylvania. Nationwide, the company has invested more than $12 billion during the past three years to maintain its world-class network.
