Verizon Wireless Launches High-Speed Wireless Network in Zanesville, Cambridge and Surrounding Areas in Ohio

ZANESVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless announced today that it has expanded the national rollout of its high-speed wireless network in portions of Guernsey County, Noble County, Muskingum County and Licking County, Ohio, extending coverage along the Interstate 70 corridor, including Cambridge and Zanesville.

The launch of the wireless broadband network (Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A)) means Verizon Wireless customers in the area, can access the company's high-speed wireless network and enjoy two prime services: BroadbandAccess, the company's enhanced high-speed wireless service, with average user speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits, geared toward mobile professionals, business customers and vacationers; and V CAST, a consumer-oriented multimedia service that offers music and short content on demand, including cutting-edge 3D games, music videos, news, weather and sports.

The network expansion equips Verizon Wireless' business customers to experience a truly untethered mobile office experience, enabling them to wirelessly access their calendars, the Internet, email and critical business information residing behind their companies' firewalls. With the added benefit of V CAST, consumers also now have access to the most comprehensive selection of downloadable music, high-quality videos and the coolest 3D games found anywhere.

BroadbandAccess

BroadbandAccess provides mobile workers the ability to get their corporate information as if they were attached to the information via a high-speed wired connection but with the freedom of true mobility. Developed with a range of users in mind, the service enables large enterprises, small to medium-sized businesses and mobile professionals to conduct business anytime, anywhere in the BroadbandAccess coverage area via a secure, true high-speed data connection.

Business customers, residents and vacationers can access information when they are on the road with BroadbandAccess. Customers in enhanced broadband wireless coverage areas can expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps, which means customers can download a 1 Megabyte email attachment-the equivalent of a small PowerPoint® presentation or a large PDF file-in less than 15 seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 25 seconds. The enhanced coverage areas enable Verizon Wireless customers to download files approximately six times faster than customers of wireless service providers who use non-EV-DO technology. Also, customers who travel outside the enhanced BroadbandAccess coverage area with an EV-DO device will switch seamlessly to the company's NationalAccess service.

"Our enhanced BroadbandAccess service gives our customers three key advantages in wireless communication-speed, mobility and security," said Roger Tang, president-Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia Region, Verizon Wireless. "With these advantages comes an increase in productivity and bottom-line business benefits."
