CLEVELAND, OH — Verizon Wireless, the wireless company with the nation's largest 3G network, has added two new cell sites to its network in Cleveland, which enable more customers to use their wireless phones to send and receive e-mail and text, picture and video messages; view high quality videos; access the Internet; and download music, games and ringtones.

The first new cell site near 105th Street and Interstate 90, improves 3G coverage and capacity in and around Bratenahl and in Cleveland as far east as Eddy Road, as far west as Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, as far north as Lake Erie and as far south as Parkgate Avenue.

The second new cell site, near West 65th Street and Detroit Avenue, improves 3G coverage and capacity as far east as West 28th Street (Fulton Road), as far west as West 85th Street, as far north as Lake Erie and as far south as Lorain Avenue (State Route 10).

“Even the most advanced cell phone is only as good as the network it runs on,” said Roger Tang, president – Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia region, Verizon Wireless. “That’s why we continue to aggressively invest in our Ohio network to increase coverage and capacity for our customers, add new services and maintain our 3G network leadership.”

These network improvements are part of Verizon Wireless’ continual effort to expand coverage, improve capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Ohio and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $55 billion since it was formed – $5.5 billion on average every year – to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services. In 2009, the company invested more than $335 million in its Ohio network.
