Verizon Wireless' Test Fleet Adds 4G Monitoring Equipment

The fleet of test vehicles operated by Verizon Wireless is being equipped with 4G testing and monitoring equipment to encompass all of the major operating networks in the U.S. today. Specifically, the field testers are using testing equipment from Ascom to perform mobile data tests on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network as it continues to roll out across the country. The collected data will be used to measure network performance, benchmark against competitors, and assist Verizon Wireless network engineers who are responsible for maintaining and planning improvements and expansions of the company's network. The fleet includes about 100 test vehicles.


"Verizon Wireless has a firm commitment to the quality and performance that has made our wireless network the most respected in the United States," said David Small, vice president and chief technical officer of Verizon Wireless. "The addition of 4G testing equipment enables our nationwide fleet of test men and women to test our 1X, 3G and 4G networks as we continue to strive to deliver the superior wireless experience our customers expect from Verizon Wireless."http://www.verizonwireless.com
