Verizon Wireless announced that its 4G LTE network build out is substantially complete. The company marked the occasion by activating service in Parkersburg, W.Va. — the 500th market in the United Stated to get Verizon Wireless LTE service.
The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network now covers more than 99% of its 3G network. The 4G LTE network is available to 298 million people across the country – more than 95% of the U.S. population, making it the nation’s largest 4G LTE network.
Verizon Wireless’ Chief Network Officer Nicola Palmer said the company’s efforts will now turn to bringing more advanced services to the network, including VoLTE. The company now expects to activate VoLTE commercially in 2014.
