4G High Speed Wireless Launches in Atlanta

May 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Knoxville, Tenn. – With the announced expansion of 4G LTE wireless service this month, Verizon Wireless is bringing the world’s most advanced wireless network to even more residents and businesses in the Metro Atlanta area. Cellular Sales, the nation’s largest Verizon premium wireless retailer, is preparing for an increased interest in accessing the new high-speed network.

“Our fifteen locations in the metro Atlanta area are fielding requests from mobile and wireless users on how to access the expanded network,” said Jonathan Perkins, Regional Director for Cellular Sales. “The ability to reach the Internet at even faster speeds through 4G-enabled devices offers opportunities for increased productivity and faster downloads of work and entertainment-related data.”

The Verizon Wireless 4G network allows for laptop download speeds up to ten times faster than the company’s existing 3G network. Smartphone users can also take advantage of faster upload and download times. Access to the new network requires use of a 4G-enabled device.

“The smartphones and modems identified as 4G ready can be used on the new network and can also work on the existing 3G network when customers travel outside the 4G coverage area,” said Perkins. “Our in-store tech experts can help customers determine if they are currently using a 4G-enabled device and, if necessary, recommend which items represent the most practical upgrade opportunities based on the customer’s usage needs.”

Cellular Sales has fifteen locations in the Metro Atlanta area, with stores in Cobb, Dekalb, Douglas, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Upson and Walton counties. Customers can find the closest location to their home or office by visiting www.cellularsales.com

Cellular Sales is an 18-year-old privately held company founded and headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, with more than 400 locations nationwide. For the past three years, Inc. Magazine has named Cellular Sales one of the nation’s fastest growing retail companies in the country.

Verizon Wireless is the first wireless company in the world to broadly deploy 4G LTE technology. The company has launched and expanded the new high-speed network in 55 metropolitan areas across the United States since 2010, with plans to convert the entire 3G network by the end of 2013. The existing 3G network currently extends coast to coast and covers more than 290 million Americans.
