BEDMINSTER, N.J., May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, operator of the nation's most reliable network and award-winning provider of enterprise services, today announced new data pricing for enterprise customers, as well as new software branded as Wireless Sync Workgroup and Wireless Sync Enterprise Server, for work groups and large enterprises. These solutions will use wireless "push" technology from Intellisync to provide wireless e-mail for enterprises of all sizes.

New Data Pricing - NationalAccess, BroadbandAccess, BlackBerry & PDA/Smartphone E-mail

Enterprise customers can gain a competitive edge by accessing business- critical data and applications behind the corporate firewall with Verizon Wireless' NationalAccess and BroadbandAccess services. Together, these two services offer an affordable, national mobile wireless data solution that provides employees with the mobility, coverage and speed they need. Unlimited use of NationalAccess is now $59.99 for monthly access, a savings of $20 a month, while unlimited use of BroadbandAccess is $79.99 monthly access.

NationalAccess is Verizon Wireless' national wireless high-speed data service that allows customers to access the Internet, intranet, e-mail, attachments and business applications from their laptops at average speeds of 60-80 kbps and bursts of up to 144 kbps based on Verizon Wireless stringent testing. NationalAccess is available in thousands of cities and towns across the nation.

BroadbandAccess is Verizon Wireless' premier data service, offering employees one of the fastest, fully mobile wide-area wireless data solutions available today. Developed with a range of users in mind, Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess operates on the company's Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) network, giving customers a fast, convenient way to conduct business anytime, anywhere while providing employees the speeds required to work efficiently outside the office. This high-speed wireless service, available in a growing number of markets throughout the U.S., provides customers with average speeds of 400-700 kbps, capable of bursts up to 2 Mbps based on Verizon Wireless tests.

Because EV-DO is backward compatible - a distinct advantage to using CDMA technology - customers who travel outside a BroadbandAccess coverage area with an EV-DO device will seamlessly switch to Verizon Wireless' existing NationalAccess network. Earlier this month, CMP Media LLC's Network Computing announced that Verizon Wireless was awarded Best Business Data Service for its BroadbandAccess service in the publication's 2005 Well-Connected Awards, beating out business data services of two other major wireless carriers.

Effective May 23, Verizon Wireless will introduce new BlackBerry & PDA/Smartphone data service plans for customers with handheld devices. Customers purchasing any Verizon Wireless Blackberry or PDA/Smartphone have the option of data plans that include 10 MB for $29.99 or unlimited data service for $49.99. Customers adding data plans to any America's Choice(SM) plan of $39.99 or higher will receive a $5.00 discount on their chosen data plan.
