PITTSBURGH, Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RootMetrics, an
independent mobile analytics firm, released its fourth Pittsburgh International Airport
RootScore® Report and Verizon Wireless received the
highest award for data network performance.
Scores were based on RootMetrics tests performed on October 6, 2014. The core components of the
report are related to reliability and speed--how reliably and
quickly each network is able to download and upload data, access
email, and load and view elements of a webpage or app, among
others.
"This most recent study is further confirmation of our continued
commitment to deliver on our brand promise of providing customers
with the best network experience whether at home or on the road,"
said Mark Frazier, region president,
Verizon Wireless. "The consistent reliability, quality and
performance of our network provide a solid foundation for new
technology and innovation that we will continue to deliver to our
customers in the coming months and years ahead."
Verizon Wireless' super-fast 4G LTE network, the nation's
largest and most reliable 4G LTE network, today covers more of the
U.S. than any other wireless provider's 4G LTE network. Verizon
Wireless' nationwide XLTE coverage, which doubles Verizon Wireless'
4G LTE bandwidth and provides customers with greater peak speeds,
was launched in the first half of the year.
While XLTE network enhancements are invisible to the customer,
the mobile experience is not. XLTE Ready devices automatically
access both 700 MHz spectrum and the AWS spectrum in XLTE cities,
such as Pittsburgh. XLTE adds
capacity in neighborhoods or areas where demand is high, especially
during busy periods like rush hour, lunch times in crowded areas or
during events when mobile data use is the highest.
