MUNCIE, IND — Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site in Muncie, which enables more customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls, send and receive e-mail and text, picture and video messages, access the Internet, view high-resolution videos and download music, games and ringtones, while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.

The new cell site, which is equipped with a permanent backup generator for times of emergency, improves voice and data coverage on the northeast side of Muncie and along the following major roads:

  • U.S. Route 35 (Muncie Bypass) between East Memorial Drive and East McGalliard Road
  • State Road 32 (East Jackson Street) between South Butterfield Road and South County Road 400
  • East East Centennial Avenue between North Broadway Avenue and North Country Club Road

“Network reliability is the No. 1 reason that customers choose and stay with Verizon Wireless,” said Greg Haller, president–Indiana/Kentucky/Michigan Region, Verizon Wireless. “Getting through on the first try and maintaining a connection are important to them. In 2009, we will continue to perfect our network so that our customers in Indiana know they can depend on us every time they pick up their wireless devices.”

This network improvement is part of Verizon Wireless’ continual effort to expand coverage, improve capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Indiana and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $50 billion since it was formed—$5.5 billion on average every year—to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. In 2008, the company invested more than $106.5 million in its Indiana network.
