ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Verizon Wireless expanded its network in the first quarter with three key cell sites in New Mexico.

As a result of the new cell sites, network coverage and capacity have been improved in the following areas:

  • In north Santa Fe with coverage along US Highway 285 and at the Santa Fe Opera.
  • Along Interstate 25 in Sierra County near Truth or Consequences. The two new sites provide additional coverage and capacity along the major transportation corridor for motorists traveling between Albuquerque and Las Cruces.

"Verizon Wireless leads in customer loyalty* for a very good reason--customers know they can count on our network reliability," said Tony Heyman, regional president of Verizon Wireless.

"We've invested more than $150 million in our wireless network in New Mexico and El Paso over the past five years to stay ahead of the growth in demand for our products and services."

The company 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.

The company's 'most reliable network' claim is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "Can you hear me now? Good®" national advertising campaign. These engineers conduct more than 300,000 call attempts monthly on Verizon Wireless' and other national carriers' networks while traveling over 100,000 miles a month in specially equipped, company-owned test vehicles.

* Loyalty claims based upon publicly-available churn (customer turnover) figures.
