U.S. Cellular builds new tower in Presque Isle

    PRESQUE ISLE — U.S. Cellular continues to invest in its high-speed nationwide network with a new cell site in Presque Isle to help residents and businesses stay connected to the information and people who matter most to them.

The new site will increase U.S. Cellular’s coverage in the towns of Presque Isle, Washburn, Mapleton, Caribou and Chapman, and is one of more than 325 towers U.S. Cellular has built across the state.

    This network enhancement is part of U.S. Cellular’s commitment to providing an ideal experience anytime its customers use their phones.

    “Creating the best network in Maine to ensure that our customers stay connected is a top priority. We take pride in knowing our customers can rely on our network and enjoy the many features their cell phone has to offer no matter where they are,” said Eric Conlon, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in New England.

    To select locations for new towers, U.S. Cellular has teams of system performance engineers who drive through the company’s network coverage area — sometimes hundreds of miles a day — to test the signal strength and call quality. U.S. Cellular also listens to customer feedback to help identify the communities that would benefit from another tower.
