Verizon Wireless announced that it has expanded the national rollout of its high-speed wireless network to Warren County including the towns of Clarendon, Garland, Irvine, Russell, Sheffield, Warren, and Wrightsville.
“This is a vital area with dynamic, tech-savvy business people, students, visitors, and residents who want to stay connected,” said Roger Tang, president – Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia region, Verizon Wireless. “The launch of our broadband network here provides our customers with access to the very latest wireless technology.”
With the wireless broadband network now available, Verizon Wireless customers in the area can enjoy two prime services:
* BroadbandAccess, the enhanced high-speed wireless service that equips Verizon Wireless’ business customers with a truly untethered mobile office experience, enabling them to wirelessly access their calendars, the Internet, e-mail, and critical business information residing behind their companies’ firewalls; and
* V CAST, a consumer-oriented multimedia service that gives customers access to the most comprehensive selection of downloadable music, high-quality videos and the coolest 3D games found anywhere.
BroadbandAccess
Based on Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) network technology, BroadbandAccess provides mobile workers with the ability to access their corporate information as if they were attached to this data via a high-speed wired connection but with the freedom of true mobility. Developed with a range of users in mind, the service enables large enterprises, small- to medium-sized businesses and mobile professionals to conduct business anytime, anywhere in the BroadbandAccess coverage area via a secure, true high-speed data connection.
With BroadbandAccess, business customers, residents and visitors to the area can expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps. That means they can download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment – the equivalent of a small PowerPoint® presentation or a large PDF file – in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.
BroadbandAccess also enables Verizon Wireless customers to download files approximately 10 times faster than customers of wireless service providers that use different broadly deployed network technologies. Furthermore, customers who travel outside the enhanced BroadbandAccess coverage area with an EV-DO device will switch seamlessly to the company’s NationalAccess service.
“Our enhanced BroadbandAccess service gives our customers three key advantages in wireless communication – speed, mobility and security,” Tang said. “With these advantages comes an increase in productivity and bottom-line business benefits.”
