14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless announced on Wednesday new 3G network expansions in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. According to the company, it has made new investments in Cambridgeside Galleria so as to boost the coverage for wireless voice and 3G data in the area. The new site deployments in New England come as part of its attempt to deliver better services to all of its users, the company noted.

In addition, the new improvements in the company's 3G coverage should also result in a faster sharing of files, and are meant to enable users benefit from video conferencing capabilities, as well as from sending and receiving emails.
“Verizon Wireless’ 3G network coverage across New England is unparalleled,” said Director for Network System Performance for Verizon Wireless, Richard Enright. “We’ve invested billions of dollars into New England believing that even the most sophisticated cell phone is only as good as the network it runs on. Our continued aggressive network investments provide customers with a 3G network advantage at home and on vacation.”
