New Cell Site Helps San Francisco, California, Residents and Visitors Make More Calls, Download More Apps and Stay Connected

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.,May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling, downloading apps and surfing the web on the Verizon Wireless 3G network is now easier and faster for residents and travelers in San Francisco, California, thanks to a new cell site. The site expands 3G wireless coverage and capacity along Highway 280 near the Balboa BART station and part of the San Francisco City College campus.

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $5.7 billion in its California network since being founded in 2000.  Nationally, the company has invested more than $65 billion over that same period to increase the coverage and capacity of its network, and to add new services.

In Northern California, the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network covers more than five million people.  In the San Francisco Bay Area, 4G LTE coverage extends south to San Jose and east to Oakland.  On June 16, Verizon's 4G LTE footprint will expand in the Bay Area to include parts of Marin and Solano Counties, as well as Fresno and Sacramento.
