The technicians measure the quality of voice and data calls on the Verizon Wireless network and on other carriers’ networks.
• A planned 70,000-square-foot state-of-the-art switching center near Denver that processes voice and data communications for customers who live in and travel through Colorado and Wyoming.
• Additional generators and other equipment to provide backup power in the event of a commercial power failure.

New wireless technologies and devices

• More customers across the state can now access high-speed wireless Internet, e-mail, mobile music and more. The high speed data network that enables both BroadbandAccess and V CAST services.
• The network expansion supported the introductions of many new wireless devices giving customers a comprehensive selection of music, multimedia, e-mail and voice services. In the fourth quarter the company introduced four flagship devices: the Juke by Samsung, the Venus™ by LG and The Voyager™ by LG, exclusive to Verizon Wireless; and the BlackBerry® Pearl™ smartphone.
