Verizon Wireless improves Westchester network

January
15

Verizon Wireless said that the recent addition of five new transmission sites in Westchester County is expected to improve reception and wireless services available to area customers.

The nation’s largest wireless carrier said the benefits of the expanded network coverage will mean fewer dropped calls as customers use their wireless phones to send and receive email, text, picture and video messages.

The company added that the new cell transmission sites will particularly help improve service in parts of Peekskill, New Rochelle, Croton-on-Hudson, Mount Pleasant and Port Chester.

“Reliable networks aren’t built overnight,” said Pat Devlin, president of the company’s New York Metro Region. “Today’s wireless customers demand much more than voice service and this network expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to stay ahead of the curve.”

Verizon Wireless said that it has invested more than $2 billion to improve its New York/New Jersey metro network and more than $48 billion nationally during the past nine years. Verizon Wireless serves more than 83.7 million customers across the country.
