Verizon's 3G Network Expanded in Berkshire County

Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless announced recently an expansion of its 3G network in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. According to the company, the new expansion is expected to offer it the possibility to meet increasing demand for wireless voice, 3G multimedia and Internet access on its network.

The wireless operator also notes that the new investments it made in the Berkshire County, Massachusetts, are part of its attempt to improve its 3G airwaves all around the country, so as to offer better services to its customers. The expansion it reported now is made via the deployment of a new cell site that should improve connectivity and 3G data coverage along Route 8 in Otis and Tolland, and users in surrounding areas will also benefit from the enhancement.

The expanded 3G data coverage in Otis should offer Verizon Wireless customers who use netbooks or smartphones the possibility to:
