CLEVELAND, July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon continues
to make advances in the wireless industry to ensure its customers
have the best possible experience to share life's moments. This is
especially true in Cleveland where
the nation's leading wireless provider is continuously investing in
upgrades to its network – like boosted capacity – so its customers
can call, text, stream and post at anytime, anywhere.
Verizon's ongoing yearly investments in Ohio ($385
million in 2016), combined with its leadership in deploying
advanced technologies, resulted in its Cleveland network coming out on top as ranked
by RootMetrics®, an independent organization.
Over the last five years in Cleveland alone, Verizon has invested more
than $300 million in network
enhancements. Many of the upgrades have come in the form of "small
cells" hidden on top of traffic signals and utility poles, boosting
coverage and capacity in highly populated areas. These small cells
are not only improving Verizon's 4G LTE network now but will also
provide the foundation for the next generation of wireless: 5G.
Verizon's improvements have already been felt throughout the
Cleveland area. Last summer, the
company doubled its network capacity at Quicken Loans Arena, the
Cleveland Convention Center, the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and other host sites of the Republican
National Convention to help boost coverage and capacity during the
convention. And those enhancements have stayed in place to continue
to provide a great experience across the city.
"Our customers are our most important asset and that's why day
in and day out our teams are committed to ensuring they have the
best experience on the nation's largest and most reliable network,"
said Market President, John
Granby.
Today's consumers expect superior network performance and
Verizon continues to deliver on that promise whether that's in
Ohio, or across the nation.
