Verizon Wireless Boosts Network Across South Carolina
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Verizon Wireless announced that it has spent more than $41 million to
enhance voice and data services and coverage throughout South Carolina
in the first six months of 2008, bringing the total network investment
here to more than $641 million since 2000.
Verizon said the investment is part of Verizon Wireless' aggressive
multi-billion dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the
growing demand in South Carolina for the company's superior voice and
data services and to help ensure the South Carolina network is ready
when severe weather hits.
Major areas of investment across South Carolina since January include:
-- Significant enhancements to the Lexington area, including Highway 6
from the Lake Murray dam to U.S. Route 378, Hope Ferry Road and U.S.
Route 378 from Interstate 20 to Highway 6.
-- Enhanced network coverage along Wells Highway and State Route 59 in
the Seneca area.
-- Enhanced coverage in areas of Beaufort County including the town of
Port Royal, along Highway 21 between Beaufort and St. Helena Island and
Parris Island.
Part of the $41M plus investment has been toward the statewide
activation of its Evolution Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A)
network. The enhanced network provides even higher-speed business and
entertainment-based services on wireless phones, laptops and other
wireless devices with Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess and V CAST
multimedia services, the company noted in a release.
