WILLISTON, N.D., March 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To continue to stay ahead of rising demand for wireless voice, multimedia and Internet access, Verizon Wireless has expanded its local network in Williston, N.D., by activating a new cell site.
The cell site, located near the intersection of U.S. Highway 85 and U.S. 2, improves coverage in the Williston area as follows:

-- South two miles on U.S. Highway 85;
-- East to two and one-half miles on U.S. Highway 2 ;

The new cell site provides increased wireless voice and data service in the Williston area, which empowers more Verizon Wireless customers to rely on their wireless phones for social networking, Internet browsing, downloading apps, exchanging email and text, picture and video messaging, as well as making calls.
"North Dakotans are increasingly relying on smartphones and applications to manage their busy lives and stay connected at home or on-the-go," said Seamus Hyland, president-Great Plains Region, Verizon Wireless. "This new cell site is part of our continual investment in our network so our customers can use their devices when, where and how they need them."
This new cell site is part of Verizon Wireless' continual effort to expand coverage, increase capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in North Dakota.
