Why 4G LTE Works for Maryland, Virginia & West Virginia Business
By Dana Dorcas, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in the Mid-Atlantic
Life's moving faster than ever before, and our mobile devices must keep pace with our hectic lives. Now, 4G LTE speeds and cutting-edge devices provide significantly faster connections, along with better performance, capabilities and services. U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM) brought 4G LTE service to select cities in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia in 2012 to elevate their customers' wireless experience and simplify and enhance the way they access information.
But it’s not just consumers who can realize the benefits of 4G LTE; it offers huge advantages for area businesses.
A recent survey reported by management consultant company Arthur D. Little found that when using 4G LTE in the workplace, 67 percent of U.S. organizations have seen increased productivity, 47 percent cut costs, and 39 percent won more business. More than 75 percent also said 4G LTE helped their organizations innovate and better compete in the marketplace. In addition, 4G LTE can help:
• Access information 10 times faster than 3G. The high speeds of 4G LTE networks are 10 times faster than 3G, allowing workers to instantly access websites, download documents and presentations immediately, and video chat seamlessly.
• Work smarter. The mobile office reaches new heights with 4G LTE devices. You can check email and stay informed while shuffling between meetings and share, access and edit documents in real time.
• Use apps instantly. The quantity and quality of mobile apps has increased considerably in the past few years, and now 4G LTE provides people with fast access to a wide range of apps that can help their business. Get real-time news updates, stock information, track shipments and take payments right from your Smartphone or tablet.
• Improve video chatting. Use your 4G LTE smartphone or tablet for smooth video calls. 4G LTE speeds provide improved clarity and connection so your video chat is easy and seamless. Devices such as the Samsung GALAXY S 4 and Samsung Galaxy Note® 10.1 can help provide businesses with the latest technology to compete and even win their next bid or proposal.
• Share your network. With a 4G LTE hot spot device, you can share your phone's fast 4G LTE Internet connections with your laptop or other Wi-Fi enabled devices, so the entire office can get their work done faster.
• Back up your documents. Cloud technology makes it easier than ever to back up your photos, documents, contacts and more, allowing you to delete items on your phone you no longer need. By using cloud technology, you can access files and documents from anywhere and save files to the cloud for a secure back up.
By the end of 2013, U.S. Cellular customers in more than 3,800 additional cities and towns will have access to 4G LTE speeds. Currently, 61 percent of U.S. Cellular customers have access to 4G LTE speeds and 87 percent are expected to be covered by the end of the year. New 4G LTE service will soon be launched in select cities in California, Kansas and Nebraska and existing 4G LTE service will be expanded to include additional cities in Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
The 4G LTE network builds on the 3G data services that U.S. Cellular customers have enjoyed on the carrier’s nationwide network. U.S. Cellular has the highest call quality and network satisfaction of any national carrier, along with a valuable rewards program that recognizes loyalty.
