Verizon Wireless to Launch 4G LTE in Lehigh Valley April 21

Verizon Wireless announced today that it is bringing the world's first large-scale 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) network to the Greater Lehigh Valley April 21.

LTE coverage in the Lehigh Valley will include the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton, the I-78 corridor, portions of Lehigh and Northampton counties, and Lehigh Valley International Airport. A sneak peek of the 4G LTE network will be offered to the Lehigh Valley public today at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. The event will feature live demos of the fastest, most advanced 4G LTE network in action, interaction with data experts and technology presentations at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

The advanced, mobile broadband network provides speeds up to 10 times faster than the company's 3G network (5 to 12 megabits per second for downloads and 2 to 5 for uploads in a real-world environment). These speeds will enable smooth mobile video-conferencing, multiple simultaneous video streams, rapid downloading, uploading and transfer of large files, and other applications to improve efficiency and productivity wirelessly.
