Type: News

Verizon Wireless announced it has activated a new cell site in Bar Harbor that expands wireless voice and 3G data coverage along Route 3 and Route 233 in downtown Bar Harbor, as well as the surrounding areas.

According to Verizon Wireless, the company invested in Hancock County to continue to stay ahead of increasing demand for voice and mobile Internet access. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $2.8 billion into its New England network since 2000, including more than $242 million in 2010 alone, to increase coverage and capacity on behalf of customers.
"We at Verizon Wireless have always believed that the best wireless devices deserve the best wireless networks," said director for Network Systems Performance for Verizon Wireless, Richard Enright. "People across Maine are increasingly relying on wireless tablets, smartphones and apps to stay organized and connected. Our investment in Hancock County - and across New England - has kept us ahead of these consumer trends and underscored our belief that any mobile device is only as reliable as the network it runs on."

Verizon Wireless operates one of America's largest 3G networks, and has invested more than $60 billion since its inception to increase voice and data coverage nationwide. Recently, the company earned recognition from J.D. Power and Associates for "Highest Call Quality in New England."
