Expansion Offers Faster Internet Connections, New and Improved High-Speed Data Services and Access to Multimedia Applications for Consumers and Businesses
Pascagoula, Miss. (August 22, 2013) – Calling, downloading apps and surfing the mobile web on the C Spire Wireless network just got easier and faster for consumers and businesses in Jackson County - thanks to the activation of a new cell site in the city of Pascagoula this week.
The site improves wireless coverage and capacity in the central part of the city east of Market Street and south of Old Mobile Highway.
With the improved coverage, capacity expansion and expanded availability of 3G service in the area, consumers and businesses in the enhanced areas should experience faster uploads and downloads and gain access to new and expanded voice and mobile high-speed data services, including mobile video telephony, high-quality music and other multimedia applications, according to David Smith, vice president of Network Engineering for C Spire Wireless.
“Wireless devices are only as good as the network on which they work, which is why we’re aggressively expanding our advanced mobile broadband coverage,” Smith said. “We want consumers and businesses to have the best possible wireless experience, whether they’re making a phone call, sending a text message, sharing videos and photos, checking the latest scores or making their business mobile.”
C Spire has one of the highest smartphone penetration rates in the U.S. wireless industry at nearly 70 percent and Smith said the network upgrade is part of the company’s ongoing investment to keep improving and strengthening the nation’s only personalized wireless network.
“Our network has long had the reputation as being the one you can count on,” Smith said. “With smartphones, tablets and other mobile communications devices driving unprecedented demand for wireless access everywhere, we’re continuing to invest and expand our network to meet those needs and ensure an advanced broadband experience for everyone.”
Expanded mobile broadband coverage enables consumers and businesses using smartphones, tablets and other mobile communications devices to:
- Download and use apps, ranging from social networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter to GPS-enabled Google maps
