ORLANDO, FL — The Montverde water tank will now host an additional key municipal service as Verizon Wireless has activated a new advanced digital cell site on the water tower just off County Road 455. The new transmission site will enhance wireless coverage throughout the Central Florida town, especially to the new Bella Collina golf club community and the Montverde Academy boarding and day school.

With the new site, which utilizes high-speed Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) technology, customers will enjoy clearer call reception and faster speeds when downloading music and games and sending text, picture and video messages. Customers using BroadbandAccess, the company’s high-speed business data service, can now expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps.

The new cell site is part of the company’s continuing investment to expand coverage, increase capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Florida and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $1.7 billion in Florida and more than $45 billion nationally since the company was formed. The company spent $175 million to enhance services and coverage throughout Florida during 2007 alone.
