High-speed internet access for mobile devices and the latest innovative products and solutions, along with local phone numbers to residents and businesses, is now available for residents of four Iowa counties. Verizon Wireless has expanded wireless service in Northwest Iowa, launching network operations in Lyon, O’Brien, Osceola and Sioux counties, including, in part, the towns of Sioux Center, Orange City, Rock Rapids, Rock Valley, Sibley, Sheldon and Hartley.

With the new service, Verizon added its award-winning 4G LTE network, which has expanded rapidly across Iowa since the initial launch in Council Bluffs  (along with Omaha, NE) on Aug. 18, 2011.

The growth of the 4G LTE network has enabled innovative solutions that consumers and businesses across the country take advantage of in their daily lives, such as the Verizon 4G LTE Router.   A wide array of 4G LTE devices from smartphones, tablets, to jetpacks and more are available at new authorized retail locations in Sioux Center, Rock Valley and Sheldon, Iowa.
