IRVING, Texas, Dec. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Verizon recently turned on new cell sites in Frisco, Aubrey, Prosper, Addison, and McKinney, TX, bringing reliable 4G and high-speed 5G Ultra Wideband service to residents and visitors. Whether enjoying connecting with friends and family while on the move, connecting their smart homes through Verizon Home Internet, or using Verizon service for small business or enterprise applications, Verizon customers in these North Texas towns just got a big boost.
In Frisco, one of Texas’ fastest growing cities, the upgraded service serves Frisco Station, a 242 acre mixed-use development, the Ford Center, and the areas surrounding Dallas North Tollway and Lebanon Road.
In Aubrey, the new site will help support new development in the community around Highway 377, which is expanding to accommodate population growth in the area.
In Prosper, the new cell site will support the community in the area around Gentle Creek Country Club and the busy Custer Road, as well as new schools currently in development to support the rapid population growth.
In Addison, a new site serves the busy residential and commercial areas near the Dallas North Tollway and Interstate 635, including the Galleria Mall. This site will also service the future Dallas Midtown development, a 250,000 square-foot mixed-use project.
A new site in McKinney along Independence Parkway will provide users with coverage and capacity where they had previously struggled.
This work is part of Verizon’s massive multi-year network transformation which has not only brought 5G service to more than 230 million people and 5G home internet service to more than 40 million households, but has also added more capabilities, upgraded the technology in the network, paved the way for personalized customer experiences and provided a platform for enterprises and developers to drive innovation.
“Verizon is committed to delivering the most reliable 5G network experience and meeting our customers’ connectivity needs where they live, work, and play. Our reliable, secure network connects families, friends, homes and businesses in North Texas with our best-in-class 5G Ultra Wideband network,” said Phillip French, VP of Engineering and Operations at Verizon.
