Verizon kickstarts construction of new cell tower in Texas

Verizon has started construction of a new cell tower at Fort Bliss Army Post in El Paso, Texas. This tower will be constructed by Boldyn Networks and will provide connectivity to service military personnel in Texas and New Mexico.

“Verizon supports our military partners through a number of innovative products and services, from 5G deployments, including private 5G, to improved enterprise infrastructure,” said Martin Mallady, associate director for Verizon’s DoD business.

“At the core, our work with the US Department of Defense focuses on improving operational capabilities and also the quality of life for the soldiers and families living on military installations. Once completed, this new cellular tower on Fort Bliss will do just that.”

The company will work with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) and Boldyn Networks to deploy 10 macro towers, enabling more robust coverage across the base.
