PITTSBURGH, PA — Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site at Pittsburgh International Airport that improves network coverage in all concourses, on the People Mover and in baggage areas.
This new cell site enables more customers at the airport to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls, send and receive TXT and Picture Messages, and download games and ring tones while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls. It also supports the company's BroadbandAccess service, which provides a high-speed Internet connection for mobile customers to use with laptops, and V CAST, which provides (with certain handsets) video on demand for customers to view current news, weather, sports and entertainment programming on their wireless phones.
"It's important that we provide the latest wireless communications technology for the millions of travelers who use Pittsburgh International Airport each year," said Roger Tang, presidentOhio/Pennsylvania Region, Verizon Wireless. "This network enhancement reflects our ongoing commitment to meet the growing needs of our customers and to provide them with the reliable, high quality service they expect from Verizon Wireless."
Verizon Wireless has invested $30 billion in the last six years-$5 billion on average every year since the company was formed-to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. In 2005, Verizon Wireless invested $240 million in Pennsylvania.
