Nextel Network Coverage Changes – New York City, Northern Conneticut, Northern Jersey, Southern Conneticut, Long Island, and Central Jersey

In preparation for Network Vision, Network Ops will continue decommissioning a number of existing iDEN towers throughout the country, the evening of 6/11/12,  in the following markets: New York City, Northern Conneticut, Northern Jersey, Southern Conneticut, Long Island, and Central Jersey.

Markets scheduled:

• Tower decommission of the following markets is scheduled :
  
  
  
  • 6/13/12: Charlotte, GA/SC Coast, Myrtle Beach, Raliegh/Durham, South Carolina, and Winston/Salem
  
  
  
  


• Tower decommission continues every Monday and Wednesday evening through July.

Network Vision:

• Decommissioning eliminates excess capacity and has minimal customer impact.


• Retuning/decommissioning towersWILL NOT shutdown the iDEN market service in 2012.


• Customers who rely on in-building coverage near a decommissioned tower may experience in-building signal strength changes but street/in-car coverage should remain the same.
