Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless recently announced that it deployed a new cell site in Woodland Hills, CA, meant to offer improved 3G connectivity to residents, businesses and visitors in Los Angeles County. According to the company, the new roll-out should improve the coverage from Santa Rita Street South to Rosita Street, and from Corbin Avenue East to Vanalden Avenue.

The new cell site deployed by Verizon will enable it to offer both increase network coverage and enhanced capacity in the area, which will result in “more calls, emails, text and picture messages for locals, plus expanded wireless access to the web.” The wireless carrier noted that it invested a great amount of money in improvements brought to its 3G network in California, so as to be able to offer better Mobile Broadband and email services to its customers.

In addition, Verizon also said that small businesses could benefit from a series of attractive features when choosing its Mobile Broadband service, including: - An online forum to share experiences and connect with other business owners - Access to Small Business Specialists in each Verizon Wireless store - Discounts and promotions to help businesses stretch their budgets - Summaries of mobile solutions like email, wireless Internet and Push to Talk service - 24/7 tech support.

“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,” the company notes.

The carrier says that its network is constantly being tested to determine whether the services it offers enjoy the best quality, no matter whether it is about voice calls or data connections. More information on the company's offering can be found on its website.
