Verizon Wireless will be approaching over 185 LTE markets by mid November, and has upgraded almost all of their test vehicles 4G enabled to test all the major networks for speed and coverage. Verizon has around 100 vehicles around the U.S, and these testers typically drive a total of 1 million miles per year conducting network tests, said Tom Badger, director of network systems performance. During the CTIA Wireless Enterprise & Applications trade show in San Diego on Wednesday, Verizon showed off a Chevrolet Tahoe used to test networks in the San Diego area. They've indicated that there are five test vehicles in the Southern California region alone, which typically cover 7,400 miles each quarter making the equivalent of 29,000 voice calls and 142,000 data calls. The only thing missing from the Verizon announcement was the "Can you hear me now?", which was replaced with "March the soldiers past the next hill" from "Harvard sentences".
