Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless has just announced a new series of enhancements brought to its 4G LTE wireless network Lexington, Massachusetts.

The company has made the 4G LTE service available for users in the area only recently, and is now further enhancing the network to deliver a better experience.

Users in the areas where Verizon’s 4G LTE network is available can take advantage of fast speeds when it comes to downloading or uploading files.

At the same time, they will benefit from a great experience when it comes to accessing social networking sites from their LTE-capable devices, or to browsing the Internet and streaming music or videos.

In fact, Verizon claims that its 4G network can deliver up to 10 times faster speeds than 3G networks.

“In real-world, fully loaded network environments, Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE customers in the coverage area should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink,” the company explains.

On March 15th, Verizon launched its 4G network in a number of 7 new markets, now covering more than 200 million people in 203 markets in the United States.

The company also offers a hefty load of appealing devices that connect to the network, including the DROID 4 and the DROID RAZR MAXX by Motorola.

When outside the LTE coverage area, users can take advantage of the capabilities of Verizon’s 3G network, so that they would remain connected at all times.

“We’ve always believed that the best wireless devices deserve the best wireless networks,” said executive director for Network for Verizon Wireless, Richard Enright.

“People across Massachusetts are increasingly relying on tablets, smartphones and apps to stay organized, connected and entertained. Our investment in Middlesex County - and across New England - has kept us ahead of these consumer trends and underscores our belief that 4G LTE delivers the best value to customers by maximizing the performance of their wireless devices.”
