Verizon gives the gift of upgraded wireless service to customers in Gaylord, MI

GAYLORD, Mich., Dec. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Whether enjoying connecting with friends and family while on the move, connecting their smart homes through Verizon Home Internet, or using Verizon service for small business or enterprise applications, Verizon customers in Gaylord, a small town in rural mid-Michigan, just got a big boost. Verizon recently turned on a new cell site in Gaylord which improves 4G and high-speed 5G Ultra Wideband capacity and coverage for residents and visitors in town. The upgraded service covers the western part of Gaylord, MI along M32, between Gaylord and Elmira, just north of the 45th parallel.

“Our team lives, works and recreates in the same places our customers do, so continuously testing and improving the network is critical. With customers using more data in more places in more ways, we work every day to ensure they have the best experience on our 5G Ultra Wideband network,” said Dean Brauer, VP of Engineering and Operations at Verizon.
