Regionally the company stated that it has invested more than $2.5 billion into its New England network over the past nine years, including more than $105 million during the first six months of 2009.

Verizon reported that the new cell site provides increased wireless voice and 3G data coverage along Route 2, Route 2a, Route 31 and Route 12 in downtown Fitchburg, as well as the surrounding area.

"Verizon Wireless' 3G network coverage across New England is unparalleled," said director for Network System Performance for Verizon Wireless, Richard Enright.

Our continued aggressive network investments provide customers with a 3G network advantage at home and on vacation."
