Verizon Wireless, the operator of the United States\' largest 4G LTE network and largest, most reliable 3G network, recently enlarged its fourth generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network coverage in Naugatuck, Connecticut, Freshnews.com reported on Friday. 4G LTE enables its customers with compatible devices to surf the Web, post status updates and photos, and download files wirelessly at speeds up to 10 times faster than customers on 3G networks.

Verizon Wireless first started its 4G LTE network in Connecticut in June 2011. Recently, Verizon Wireless enlarged 4G LTE network coverage in Naugatuck along Andrew Mountain Road, Chestnut Tree Hill Road and the surrounding area.

The Verizon 4G LTE network is now available to nearly 301 million people in more than 500 markets across the United States, representing more than 99 percent of the company’s 3G footprint.

The growth of the 4G LTE network has fostered development of new and innovative solutions as diverse as LTE-connected cars and remote medical diagnostic options. One solution recently brought to market is the Verizon 4G LTE Router, which can support wired and Wi-Fi-enabled devices simultaneously, allowing users to take it on vacation or business travel to stay connected.

Verizon Wireless customers can also take advantage of HomeFusion℠ Broadband, a residential Internet solution that uses the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network to bring reliable, high-speed Internet service to customers with limited broadband options.
