Verizon expands network capacity across Alaska
June 18 2024 - 1:00PM
Verizon recently expanded its network across Alaska, adding
additional spectrum at 89 cell sites across the state to increase
network capacity by approximately 30 percent. This newly expanded
capacity benefits residents, businesses, and visitors in Kenai,
Soldotna, Anchor Point, Homer, Seward, Meadow Lake, Denali Park,
Two Rivers, and Pleasant Valley.
This additional spectrum allows Verizon to provide greater
bandwidth and enable higher data speeds for its customers in
Alaska. This expansion comes as Verizon celebrates 10 years of
delivering the most reliable network experience in Alaska, serving
87 percent of the state’s population.
“Verizon is committed to delivering the most reliable network
experience and meeting customer’s connectivity needs where they
live, work, and play,” said Jake Hamilton, VP of Engineering and
Operations at Verizon. “By deploying this additional capacity, we
are providing more opportunities for our customers in Alaska to
utilize Verizon’s best-in-class network to connect with families,
friends, homes and businesses."
For customers in Alaska, the additional capacity means more ways
for Verizon’s customers to connect. These upgrades allow Verizon to
support more network traffic, deliver even better performance to
our customers and add new products and services. With additional
spectrum resources deployed, Verizon will be able to expand the
footprint for its LTE Verizon Home Internet broadband service,
providing the speed and capacity needed to connect a family’s
phones, laptops and other devices to game-changing home
internet.
This work is part of Verizon’s massive multi-year, nationwide
network transformation which has added more capabilities, upgraded
the technology in the network, paved the way for personalized
customer experiences and provided a platform for enterprises and
developers to drive innovation.
