Verizon Wireless Activates New Cell Site in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania

Verizon Wireless, the wireless company with the highest customer loyalty, has activated a new cell site in Rural Valley that improves its network coverage in the town and nearby communities.

The new cell site improves Verizon Wireless’ voice and data network in portions of Armstrong County including:
Rural Valley;
From the towns of Echo and Bryan south to the town of Yatesboro;
From the town of Spaces Corners east to the town of Nu Mine;
Along State Route 85 from Kittanning east to Nu Mine.

With the improved network coverage, more customers can use their wireless phones to make calls; send and receive email and text, picture and video messages; download music, games and ringtones; and view high-quality videos while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.

“Network reliability is the No. 1 reason that customers choose and stay with Verizon Wireless,” said Roger Tang, president–Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia Region, Verizon Wireless. “Getting through on the first try and maintaining a connection are important to our customers. We continue to optimize our network so that it remains the most reliable in the nation.”

This new cell site is part of Verizon Wireless’ continual effort to expand coverage, increase capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Pennsylvania and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed—$5.5 billion on average every year—to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. Last year, the company invested more than $235 million in its Pennsylvania network improvements.
