Wireless calling, text messaging and surfing the Web on the Verizon Wireless high-speed 3G network is now easier and faster for residents and travelers in the Lake Tahoe area thanks to a new cell site in Truckee.

The site improves 3G wireless coverage along Highlands View Drive – the road that leads to the Ritz-Carlton. It is designed to provide better coverage throughout Northstar-at-Tahoe.

The company has also made upgrades in Reno. The site improves 3G wireless coverage and capacity within the El Dorado and Silver Legacy hotels.
