RSSVerizon Wireless Turns on EV-DO Upgrade
By the Betanews Staff | Published February 1, 2007, 11:29 AM
Verizon Wireless said Thursday that it had begun its rollout of its next generation wireless broadband technology, based on the CDMA EV-DO Revision A standard. The technology will give users a slight speed increase in areas equipped with the service. The network will first launch in Massachusetts, including the city of Boston, as well as Richmond and Hampton Roads, Va., Chicago, Ill. and its suburbs, Salt Lake City, Utah, and throughout the state of Florida.
Users will notice the biggest difference in file upload times, which will increase to 300-400 kbps. Download speeds will also increase, with up to 800kbps of downstream bandwidth available, Verizon said. No timetable has been given for the rollout of services to the rest of Verizon's coverage area.

|Though Verizon launched their Rev-A network, the cities they've officially listed aren't the only places they have Rev-A turned on at. There are quite a few major markets they aren't announcing yet, for whatever reason. See for yourself by checking out a cool new google mashup at http://www.EVDOmaps.com
