Another press release from Verizon bragging about it's backup network, this time in Ohio.  As you can see they are claiming that they now have generators at 90% of their cell sites.

Verizon Wireless, an operator of a wireless voice and data network and a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone, announced on Friday (30 January) that it has installed permanent backup generators across the state of Ohio, US as a part of its continuing network investment in the state.

According to the company, its network in Ohio has continued to operate throughout the week as result of this ongoing network investment.

The network investment includes permanent backup generators that have been installed at over 90% of the company's cell sites across the state, Verizon said.

Verizon had reportedly completed the installation of generators at every cell site in Ohio in 2008, where it was possible to put one, to allow its customer to stay connected during tough weather conditions and power outages.

The company has reportedly invested over $258m in 2008 to enhance its digital network in Ohio and a total of $1.4bn since the company was formed in the year 2000.

These network enhancements included building new-cell site and upgrading existing-cell sites, increasing coverage and capacity within existing coverage areas and completing a high-speed wireless broadband network expansion across its Ohio coverage area.
