SALT LAKE CITY, July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- When Verizon
says, "today we're the best we can be and tomorrow we'll be
better," it means it. Over the past five years, Verizon has
invested over $350 million in its
network across the state of Utah,
ensuring its customers have the best possible experience when
they're looking to call, post, stream and text.
These sustained enhancements helped the leading wireless
provider come out on top in the latest rankings by
RootMetrics®. According to the nation's most rigorous,
independent study, Verizon was rated #1 in overall network
performance as well as data and reliability in Salt Lake City.
Verizon has been able to pull ahead significantly in network
performance in Salt Lake City
thanks to consistent investment in reliability, innovation and the
latest engineering technologies. Much of the investments have come
in the form of small cells. It is just what the name implies – a
small cell site often hidden in plain sight – on top of traffic
signals and utility poles that help boost coverage and capacity in
densely populated areas. It's a win-win for the company and its
customers as it provides an exceptional network
experience.
Small cells not only improve Verizon's 4G LTE network today,
they will also provide the foundation for the next generation
network: 5G.
"Our network team works 24 x 7 for our customers focused on
predictable excellence: providing the largest 4G LTE network,
unsurpassed reliability and the best speeds," said Verizon market
president Russ Preite.
Building the nation's largest and most reliable 4G LTE network
means customers can count on Verizon's network in Salt Lake City and across the country, when
they need it most.
