Wireless Broadband Internet From Verizon For 12 New Sites in Lewis County.

Verizon Wireless announced it has introduced BroadbandAccess, its wireless broadband service, expanding its coverage in Lewis County, NY, giving local customers access to the latest high-speed business and entertainment services on their wireless phones, laptop and desktop computers, and PDAs.

Verizon said that customers living in and visiting the area can now access their e-mail, corporate data, the Internet and more at broadband speeds -- in their homes or on the road. They can also view and download video clips on their phones, download music onto their handsets over-the-air, play 3D games, and send large data files at faster speeds as the company continues to expand the next generation of its high-speed wireless broadband network across Upstate New York.

The company has added CDMA 1x Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) technology to 12 cell sites in the following areas:
Lewis County:
- Denmark - Croghan - Lyonsdale - Pinckney - Diana - Leyden - Harrisburg - Martinsburg - Lowville - Turin - New Bremen - Greig

"Verizon Wireless is focused on providing the best customer experience, and a major part of that commitment is making sure we continue to have the best, most reliable network," said Marquett Smith, president of Verizon Wireless' Upstate New York region. "Instead of merely offering wireless broadband service in metropolitan areas or near major airports, we're committed to giving our customers the ability to access the Internet, corporate data and premium entertainment content at broadband speeds throughout Upstate New York."

Verizon Wireless' wireless broadband network now stretches across Western, Central and Eastern New York from Lake Erie to the Hudson River Valley, including the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica/Rome, Albany, Jamestown, Elmira/Corning, Ithaca, Binghamton, Watertown, Canton/Potsdam, Glens Falls, Poughkeepsie and into the New York City area, as well as hundreds of towns and villages across the state.

The entire Upstate New York EV-DO network is now Rev. A capable, meaning customers can enjoy even faster speeds than before when both downloading and sending large files on the company's broadband data network.
