Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless has recently announced that it has performed more enhancements to its 3G network in Acton, Massachusetts, and that new cell sites have been deployed, expanding this way the coverage area its subscribers can enjoy. According to the wireless operator, the new cell sites will offer connectivity along Route 62 near the Acton/Concord town line, as well as for the surrounding areas.

The new network expansion announced by Big Red is set to offer notebook computers or smartphone users the possibility to browse the web faster than before – the page loading times have been diminished –, quickly download and play music, watch streaming video, send emails with attachments, download and play 3D games, hold video conferences with contacts, as well as to rapidly share files.

Verizon Wireless’ 3G network coverage across New England is unparalleled,” said the 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.”

The wireless carrier also states that it continues the network investments in the Middlesex County, Massachusetts, which should enable it to keep up with demand for wireless voice, 3G multimedia and Internet access. Verizon also says that it has invested more than $105 million in the area during the first half of the ongoing year, and that the total investments in the region now rise to more than $2.5 billion.

The entire Verizon Wireless 3G network has seen improvements lately, the operator adds, stating that new 3G services like Mobile Broadband and V CAST have been also added into the equation, and that the total amount of investments in network enhancements has topped $50 billion already. Verizon is the largest carrier in the US, and the new cell sites in New England should offer better 3G wireless data connectivity to users in the area, the company concluded.
