Verizon Wireless extends rollout of 3G network to Omaha/Council Bluffs

October 3, 2006

Verizon Wireless announced it has expanded its Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) 3G wide-area network to Omaha and Council Bluffs, Iowa. Both cities are the first in their respective states to join the company's coast-to-coast broadband network.

The expansion means that Verizon Wireless customers can access the company's high-speed wireless broadband network while traveling throughout the Omaha/Council Bluffs area and that they can enjoy two additional services: BroadbandAccess, the company's high-speed wireless broadband network, which is geared toward mobile professionals and business customers and has average user speeds of 400-700 kilobits per second (kbps); and V CAST, a consumer-oriented multimedia service that offers music and short content on demand, including cutting-edge 3D games, music videos, news, weather, sports and more.

"This expansion is part of our continuing focus on investing in our network reliability and providing innovative high-speed data services to our customers in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area and across the country," said Nancy B. Clark, president, Great Plains Region, Verizon Wireless. "With BroadbandAccess, Omaha's mobile and business professionals now will be able to take their desktop experience wherever they go in the coverage area, enabling them to wirelessly access their calendars, the Internet, e-mail and critical business information residing behind corporate firewalls."

Coverage

BroadbandAccess and V CAST coverage will be available to 92 percent of the population of the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro area and surrounding communities. The coverage area extends north from Omaha to the Douglas/Washington County border, west to U.S. Highway 6, south to U.S. Highway 370 (including the city of Bellevue) and east of Council Bluffs to Interstate 29 just south of Interstate 80.
