WILMINGTON, DE — Verizon Wireless has enhanced digital wireless service in Kent County, Delaware with the addition of two new digital cell sites in Whitleysburg and Dover. Both sites use code division multiple access (CDMA) digital technology, which provide 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.

The Whitleysburg site will provide improved digital coverage along Routes 12 and 314 while the Dover site will provide additional digital capacity and indoor coverage at the Dover Downs Racetrack.

"This digital network upgrade will provide our business and consumer customers with improved wireless coverage when using our voice and data services," said Ann McCrystal, president of Verizon Wireless' Philadelphia Tri-State Region. "Digital service subscribers will notice an immediate difference in the quality of their calls."

CDMA digital wireless service transmits calls as a series of binary ones and zeroes for crystal-clear communication, as opposed to continuous radio waves transmitted by analog service, and each call is encoded for superior wireless security.
