VERIZON WIRELESS EXPANDS 4G/LTE SERVICE ACROSS FLORIDA
Customers To Enjoy Fastest, Most Advanced Wireless Technology
In Pensacola, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Lakeland-Winter Haven, Sarasota/Bradenton

TAMPA, Fla. ? Verizon Wireless announced today that has launched the nation?s fastest and most advanced 4G/LTE (Fourth Generation/Long-Term Evolution) network for customers in the core areas of Pensacola, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Lakeland-Winter Haven and Sarasota/Bradenton.
The new 4G/LTE markets join Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Tampa Bay, Orlando and Jacksonville, which began to receive Verizon Wireless 4G technology last month. The service also has been launched for customers near Duval Street in Key West and in Fort Myers at the Southwest Florida International Airport.
Verizon Wireless expects to complete the highest-speed wireless network throughout the entire state by 2013.
4G/LTE provides wireless consumers access to services up to 10 times faster than the company?s industry-leading 3G network. With this latest progression of wireless technology, the company expects average data rates in real-world, loaded network environments to be 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.
These speeds will allow for smooth mobile video-conferencing, multiple simultaneous video streams, speedy transfer of large files, downloading and running of powerful programs, and numerous other applications to improve efficiency and productivity wirelessly.
The Verizon Wireless 4G technology also will improve coverage strength inside buildings, as it runs on a powerful 700 megahertz wireless frequency.
?Florida customers are going to have a lot of wireless power in their hands with LTE 4G,? said Pam Tope, Florida region president of Verizon Wireless. ?We?re proud to bring this latest evolution and superior technology to the state.?
Florida customers will be able to access 4G/LTE services on a suite of new devices including smartphones from HTC, LG, Motorola and Samsung; tablets from Motorola and Samsung; a MiFi from Novatel Wireless and a mobile hotspot from Samsung; two notebooks from HP; and wireless modems from LG and Pantech.
All the devices are ?backward compatible? and will run on the Verizon Wireless 3G network, the nation?s largest and most reliable, and which already covers 98 percent of Florida?s population and landmass..

Hey Verizon! There are alot of college students in Blacksburg, VA that would be ALL OVER 4G... just sayin'
 
What's the difference between Verizon 4G/LT and Sprint 4G? Sprint 4G on my EVO is lightening fast. :)
 
We got it here in Charlotte too!!! Hooray for us, but we have only 3G phones so :(.... But in the future!!!! :)
 
We've had it in Athens since launch. Too bad I'm not on Verizon....sad panda :(
 
Have a feeling it will be a while before it makes it to Florence SC. At least I am on verizon and have good 3g.
