BOSTON - Verizon customers in the downtown area will soon have improved communications as the result of a $6 million investment the company is making in its call-switching center here.
Verizon is installing a new digital switch and associated software in one of its downtown call-switching centers to provide additional capacity and reliability in the Verizon telecommunications network. This equipment will enable Verizon to meet rising demand for high-speed, high-capacity data services such as DS-1, ISDN (integrated services digital network) and Centrex for local business customers.
During the past three years, Verizon has invested more than $2 billion in its network that serves Massachusetts.
"This project demonstrates Verizon's commitment to build and maintain an advanced telecommunications network throughout the Bay State," said Donna Cupelo, region president for Verizon Massachusetts/Rhode Island. "We continue to invest in our state-of-the-art infrastructure to maintain service excellence, as well to provide a platform for high-speed access to the Internet, work-at-home capabilities and a host of other advanced services.
"Whether we're making significant network upgrades or offering new services and packages of local, long-distance and broadband services, Verizon is committed to meeting the communications needs of consumers and businesses," said Cupelo.
