Verizon Wireless Has Fine-Tuned Its Network to Keep Customers Communicating During Hurricane Matthew


A hurricane named Matthew continues to head towards the eastern cost of the United States. This is why Verizon Wireless, one of the premiere government cell phone service carriers in the United States has already taken necessary measures to ensure hassle-free cellular phone service for all its consumers in Florida, up the eastern seaboard and across the region. The company is relying on the most reliable and largest 4G LTE network to carry out the task.

The Company Has Fine-Tuned Its Network Significantly Since Last Year's Storm Season:

Following are the highlights of this network enhancement:

•    Additional Services related to the most advanced 4G LTE (Long-Term Evolution) network.
•    Significant addition of capacities at many cell sites.
•    Considerable fortification of coverage along evacuation routes.
•    Deployment of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) advanced technology and installing new in-building network systems at important places like hospitals, high-traffic public places, government and other emergency facilities and other key venues.
•    Super-switch network processing centers specifically designed to resist any catastrophe such as category 5 hurricanes.

What Else:

With hardened shells, power generation at a very large scale, various types of redundant operations and technologies as well as other backup systems deployed/installed, and hassle-free cellular phone services to the users are the main highlights of the efforts put in by Verizon Wireless.

Deployment of Engineers and Technicians:

All the practiced engineers and technicians of Verizon Wireless are burning the midnight oil in order to prepare all sorts of emergency services. They are also focusing on staging extra equipment and continuously conducting drills to ensure that their cellular phone service subscribers can rely on their services when they need it at crunch time, says Mr. Sergei Mislevy, executive director of Network operations at Verizon Wireless.

Some More Reliable Efforts by Verizon Wireless in This Direction:

In addition to that, the company is making some more reliable efforts in this direction for ensuring hassle-free networks for all its customers. The list of ongoing efforts by Verizon wireless includes the following:

•    A full emergency response plan that includes preparing emergency command centers in case of storm or any other kind of crisis.

This fleet can easily be rolled into hard-hit locations or areas where extra capacity of the network is identified as being needed for keeping cell phone service users communicating.
•    Pre-arrangement of fuel delivery for mobile units as well generators for keeping the network up and running in full swing even if the electricity breaks down for an extended period of time.
