Verizon improves mobile phone quality in Santa Ana, Tustin

March 27th, 2009, 12:23 pm · 1 Comment · posted by

AT&T isn’t alone in improving cell coverage in Orange County. Verizon Wireless wants to add that it, too, is constantly adding more cell sites here. 

The new O.C. locations improve 3G wireless coverage in specific parts of Santa Ana and Tustin: 

  • Santa Ana: McFadden Avenue from Euclid Street to Fairview Road and on Harbor Boulevard from Edinger Avenue to Hazard Avenue
  • Tustin: Downtown Tustin and East Tustin, including the Tustin Civic Center. Also improves service along Irvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue.

Increased 3G coverage means more capacity for calls, e-mails, multimedia messaging and Web access.

Verizon said it invested $600 million in California last year to enhance service and coverage. Comparably, AT&T (the only other company that has released this information) said its total capital investment in its network in California from 2006 to 2008 was “nearly $7.9 billion.”

Hello Sprint? T-Mobile? I have requests in to both companies asking for an O.C. update. Stay tuned…
