A new cell site in Barrington Hills provides better cell service for Verizon subscribers.

A new cell site in the Barrington area means fewer dropped calls and clearer reception. 

Verizon Wireless activated the new site in Barrington Hills this month, which will improve coverage from County Line Road in the north, to Elgin road in the east, to Dundee Road in the south and to Route 59 in the west.

Verizon also implemented new cell sites in Geneva and Burlington. Each site is equipped with a permanent backup generator for emergencies.

“Our customers rely on their wireless devices for virtually all of their communication needs,” said T.J. Fox, president of Verizon Wirelesses Illinois/Wisconsin region. “Ten years ago, ensuring they could make clear calls and stay connected was our top priority…Additionally though, we closely monitor all other network usage, such as Internet browsing and downloading apps or music, and make improvements accordingly,” he said.
