Telecom major Verizon Wireless announced the delivery of
its first 4G LTE C.O.W. (Cell On Wheels) in Florida.
The new 4G LTE C.O.W. is designed to further enhance the
strength and reliability of this Verizon Wireless network.
The new 4G LTE C.O.W. weighs in at a healthy 24,000
pounds and measures 1,080 inches, including its telescoping antenna tower.
The new C.O.W. will be deployed to targeted locations
across the state when demand for wireless coverage and services spikes,
including championship sports events, tourist destinations or large festivals.
It also will be available to reinforce the most advanced
4G LTE wireless services for emergency responders and to the public in areas
hit hard by a hurricane or other crisis.
The mobile unit can handle hundreds of simultaneous voice
calls and 4G LTE data transmissions such as photo and video messages, music and
app downloads, internet surfing and more.
“With so many 4G LTE markets here in Florida, and
with the frequent special events we have here, it’s natural that we deliver the
first 4G LTE C.O.W.,” said Frank Wise, executive network director for
Verizon Wireless.
After launching this 4G LTE high-speed services in Miami,
Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa Bay, Orlando, Jacksonville,
Tallahassee, Gainesville, Sarasota-Bradenton, Daytona Beach and Lakeland
Verizon brings this new C.O.W to Florida.
This 4G LTE network provides customers with wireless data
speeds up to 10 times faster than the company’s 3G network. These speeds allow
for smooth mobile video-conferencing, multiple video streams, faster transfer
of large files, downloading and running powerful programs, machine-to-machine
communications, and other applications to improve efficiency and productivity
wirelessly.
The company’s consistent focus on reliability is based on
rigid engineering standards and a disciplined deployment approach year after
year. The company’s 700 MHz spectrum gives Verizon Wireless specific advantages
with 4G LTE, including a contiguous, nationwide network license and improved
in-building penetration.
Recently, Verizon Wireless announced the
Compaq Mini CQ10-688nr with built-in 4G LTE will be available online at on
August 4.
Previously announced at this year’s Consumer Electronics
Show and powered by Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network, the Compaq Mini
CQ10-688nr is the ideal balance of performance and size.
