Verizon Wireless users should be getting better 3G reception in certain parts of Orange County where the company just installed four new 3G cell sites (see a map of Verizon’s existing 3G coverage).
The expansion was just to “stay ahead of demand and to make sure that our customers enjoy a superior wireless experience,” said John Palmer, regional president of Verizon Wireless.
The new 3G cell sites should improve coverage in these areas:
- Huntington Beach – Near Beach Boulevard and East Adams Avenue; indoor coverage near Engineer Drive and surrounding residential area to the southeast.
- Laguna Beach – along the 73 Toll Road and surrounding cities of Aliso Viejo and Irvine.
- Santa Ana – near intersection of South Fairview Street and West MacArthur Boulevard and surrounding residential and commercial area.
The new sites are part of Verizon Wireless’ $4.6 billion expansion in California since 2000. Verizon has long offered a quality mobile Internet service that some people won’t give up for an iPhone from AT&T or Google phone from T-Mobile. The 3G sites should improve not only voice, but Internet and all those multimedia tools, such as the mapping service, music downloads, texting, etc.
