Casino Goers Benefit From Wireless Network Expansion

In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for Casino goers in Atlantic City, Verizon Wireless has expanded its network by connecting to an in-building distributed antenna system in Bally's Casino.

The new cell site increases coverage and capacity inside Bally's, Bally's Wild Wild West, Claridge and Caesars Casinos.

This network expansion is part of the company's aggressive multi-billion-dollar network investment each year (more than $1 billion every 90 days), including nearly $180 million in the Philadelphia Tri-State Region in 2006, to stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless voice and data services. Verizon Wireless has invested $35 billion - on average $5 billion a year - into its national wireless network over the past seven years as part of its commitment to offer customers the most reliable service available, including wireless data services such as picture messaging, text messaging, and the company's exclusive V CAST service. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones over Verizon Wireless' high-speed EV-DO network.
