Verizon Wireless Enhances 4G LTE Coverage in Providence

Verizon Wireless recently enhanced fourth generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network coverage in Providence, Rhode Island. 4G LTE empowers Verizon Wireless customers with compatible devices to surf the Web, post status updates and photos, and download files wirelessly at speeds up to 10 times faster than customers on 3G networks.

“4G LTE is changing the way customers interact with the world via next generation apps, devices and solutions,” commented Dave MacBeth, Executive Director of Network for Verizon Wireless. “By investing in wireless broadband, we’re investing in local communities and economies where our customers live, work and play.” 

Verizon Wireless first debuted its 4G LTE network in Rhode Island in November 2011. Recently, the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network further expanded within Providence including the area surrounding the intersections of Routes 1, 7, 146, 246 and Interstate 95. Coverage has also been enhanced near the State House and Amtrak train station.
