Verizon Invests To Enhance Michigan Network


Prolific broadband provider Verizon invested nearly $195 million in 2006 in order to upgrade its digital network in Michigan, the company has announced.

Building new cell sites, upgrading existing cell sites and increasing coverage area were all among the upgrades made by Verizon. The company is also seeking to expand its high-speed wireless broadband network.

Greg Haller, the president of the Michigan region for Verizon, said: "Network reliability is the number one reason that customers choose and stay with Verizon Wireless. "Getting through on the first try and maintaining a connection are important to our customers. We continue to optimize our network so that it remains dependable." Verizon has invested $923 million over the past seven years in improving its network in Michigan alone. This includes installing 209 backup generators at cell sites to make sure that service continued even in times of crisis. The company has also recently launched FiOS TV in 106 communities in New Jersey.
