COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — In its continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents, Verizon Wireless, the nation's largest wireless provider, today announced that it has upgraded its digital network in area around the Colorado Springs airport. This upgrade improves Verizon Wireless' coverage and enhances call quality for customers using their wireless phones at the airport north to Platte Avenue, south to Bradley, west to South Chelton Road and east to MarkSheffel.
"The ultimate factor in the quality of wireless service - and the customer's satisfaction - is the network that carries the call, and the recent enhancement to the Springs' network is another example of Verizon Wireless' commitment to delivering superior network quality in all of our markets," said Marni Walden, regional president for Verizon Wireless. "We invested more than $40 million in the Colorado wireless network last year, and plan to more than double that investment in 2001."
Verizon Wireless' local network has experienced significant growth in call volume over the last several months. The enhanced network is designed to meet the current needs of local wireless users and enabled increased use. This upgrade, and many others planned throughout the state, is part of Verizon Wireless' planned $4 billion investment in 2001 to improve its extensive, nationwide wireless network.
