Washington's Bluewood Ski Area Receives 3G Coverage, New Cell Site From Largest U.S. Carrier — Verizon Wireless
Southeastern WA Investment Meets Growing Demand for Calls, E-mail, Text, Web, Video and Music
BELLEVUE, WA — Visitors to the Bluewood Ski Area in southeastern Washington are enjoying improved service thanks to a new Verizon Wireless cell site completed during the first quarter of 2009. The cell site is located in Columbia County. The site expands 3G wireless coverage at Ski Bluewood, enabling access to the Web, e-mail, text and picture messaging, plus music and video.
This network enhancement is part of the company’s consistent, aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the growing demand for the company’s voice and data services. Verizon Wireless spent $213 million to enhance services and coverage in Washington and Oregon during 2008.
Nationally, the company has invested more than $50 billion since it was formed in 2000. The result is the nation’s largest, most reliable 3G network that powers services such as Mobile Broadband and Email. Businesses of any size can tap into the power of Mobile Broadband, enabling users to connect to the Internet wirelessly while on the go to download music over the air and access e-mail or corporate data,. For example, customers can download a 1 megabyte e-mail attachment - the equivalent of a small PowerPoint® presentation or a large PDF file - in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.
