Verizon 3G Network in Indiana completed

Verizon 3G Network in Indiana completed. Verizon Wireless announced that it has completed enhancements to its advanced 3G high-speed wireless network throughout Indiana, enabling more customers to browse the Internet, download music, send email and multimedia messages and access other advanced wireless services more reliably at even faster broadband speeds.

To make these enhancements, Verizon Wireless installed its most advanced EV-DO Rev. A (Evolution-data Optimized, Revision A) hardware and software on the remaining 106 cell sites needing upgrading across Indiana, and it activated an additional 55 EV-DO cell sites in the state. Since the company initially introduced its high-speed 3G network in Indianapolis and Gary in June 2005, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $89 million building out its advanced network across Indiana.

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $48 billion since it was formed--$5.5 billion on average every year--to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services.
