Verizon Wireless announced that it has completed enhancements to its EV-DO Rev. A based 3G network throughout Florida, allowing customers to use various Internet-related services (V CAST?) at broadband speeds.
The enhancements to the EV-DO Rev. A network took nearly two years, and entailed installing the most advanced hardware and software on thousands of cell sites in the Verizon Wireless network in Florida, as well as updating and optimizing technology in five Verizon Wireless regional network switching facilities throughout the state.
The EV-DO Rev. A enhancements are part of Verizon’s $250 million network investment in Florida during the past 18 months. Since 2000, the company has spent nearly $1.8 billion on network enhancements in the state, and more than $45 billion throughout the nation.
