Verizon Wireless Customers In New Hampshire To Benefit From Enhanced, Faster Wireless Broadband Network
Improved customer experience sending large files, photo messages.
February 13, 2007 — Woburn, Massachusetts — Verizon Wireless customers in New Hampshire can now
access e-mail, everyday corporate data, the Internet and more at faster speeds, and upload files five to six
times faster than before as the company rolls out the next-generation of its Verizon High Speed broadband network across the Granite State.
Based on CDMA 1x Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) technology, the enhanced wireless network now reaches Verizon Wireless customers in and around Concord, Nashua, Manchester, Portsmouth and the
southeastern coastline of the state. Service is also available at the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Rev.
A provides customers sending and uploading data with uplink speeds even faster than the company’s award-winning
national EV-DO network, which is already available in New Hampshire, as well as all other New England states.
The company’s existing EV-DO network enables customers to access BroadbandAccess on their laptops, e-mail on their
PDAs, and V CAST Video and Music on their wireless phones. The company’s national wireless broadband network, the
first in the nation, is already available to more than 200 million Americans in 242 major metropolitan areas and
180 major airports from coast to coast.
“Verizon Wireless is committed to delivering superior network reliability and services,” said Ken Dixon, New England
region president, Verizon Wireless. “The faster uplink speeds will greatly benefit customers that upgrade to Rev. A
compatible devices”
The company’s flagship business data service, Broadband Internet Access, will run faster and more efficiently with the new
network enhancements. Customers in enhanced coverage areas can take advantage of a better customer experience when
using Web-based applications. For example, BroadbandAccess customers in enhanced wireless broadband coverage areas
can expect average download speeds of 450-800 kilobits per second (kbps) and average upload speeds of 300-400 kbps,
translating to being able to download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment — the equivalent of a small PowerPoint® presentation
or a large PDF file — in less than 15 seconds and upload the same size file in less than 25 seconds, significantly faster
than customers of wireless service providers who use non-EV-DO Rev. A technology.
The first two devices from Verizon Wireless that take advantage of faster speeds provided by these new network
enhancements are the new compact USB720 wireless modem and the AirCard 595 PC Card from Verizon Wireless, which
are fully compatible and backward compatible with the company’s enhanced and existing wireless broadband networks
and the company’s NationalAccess network (based on CDMA 1xRTT technology).
New Hampshire customers interested in purchasing either device can contact a business sales representative at
1-800-VZW-4-BIZ; or purchase them online at www.verizonwireless.com.
