Verizon Wireless has announced that it has activated a cell on light truck (COLT) in and around Michigan Stadium. COLT is a fully functional, generator-powered mobile cell site that enhances wireless capacity in a specific location — and works especially well in dense areas with large crowds.
COLT is to double the capacity of its high-speed wireless network in Ann Arbor during Football Saturdays when more than 100,000 people assemble to watch the sport.
The COLT enables more Verizon Wireless customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make voice calls; send email and text, picture and video messages; access the Internet; view high-quality videos; and download music, games and ringtones while enjoying fewer dropped calls and clearer reception.
Greg Haller, president-Michigan/Indiana/Kentucky Region, Verizon Wireless said, “Year over year, data usage of our Michigan network has nearly doubled and voice usage has grown by nearly 10 percent. Our customers are relying on their phones much more, particularly at major sporting events like college football games. We want to ensure we can handle every call, email, photo, text and video message.”
