More 3G Wireless Coverage for Montebello, California Residents

(Business News & Technology News, 29 Jun 2009)

Los Angeles County residents, businesses and visitors are enjoying improved service thanks to a new Verizon Wireless cell site. The site expands 3G wireless coverage in the industrial area of Montebello. Specifically, the new site covers portions of Washington Boulevard, Garfield Boulevard and Greenwood Avenue to the I-5 Freeway. The increase in network coverage and capacity means more calls, emails, text and picture messages for locals, plus expanded wireless access to the web.

Verizon Wireless invested over $600 million in California during 2008 to enhance service and coverage. Nationally, the company has invested more than $48 billion in its network since it was formed in 2000. The result is the nation's largest, most reliable 3G network that powers services such as mobile broadband and email.

Businesses of any size can tap into the power of mobile broadband. The service allows users to connect to the Internet wirelessly while on the go to download music over-the-air, and access e-mail or corporate data. For example, customers can download a small 1 megabyte PowerPoint presentation in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.
