U.S. Cellular, in conjunction with its partner King Street Wireless, announced that Nebraska residents primarily in rural areas will have 4G LTE services later this year. The company is adding more than 1,200 4G LTE cell sites across the country.

By the end of 2014, more than 93 percent of U.S. Cellular customers will have access to 4G LTE speeds that are up to 10 times faster than 3G.

Western Nebraska communities that will receive 4G LTE service from U.S. Cellular later in the year include Bartley, Beaver City, Brady, Culbertson, Curtis, Hershey, Imperial, Indianola, Maxwell, McCook, Mullen, Paxton, Stapleton, Sutherland, Thedford, Trenton and Wauneta.

U.S. Cellular customers in and around Omaha, Lincoln, Beatrice, Bellevue, Columbus, Fremont, Grand Island, Hastings, Holdrege, Kearney, La Vista, Lexington, Nebraska City, Norfolk, North Platte, Ogallala, Papillion, Seward, Wayne, West Point and York received 4G LTE access last October.

In addition to Nebraska, this latest U.S. Cellular network expansion adds vast 4G LTE coverage in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and North Carolina and also brings additional 4G LTE service to areas in Illinois, Maine, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.

“We are a community carrier that is focused on Nebraska, and we provide a network that works where our customers live, work and play,” said Erryn Andersen, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Nebraska and Iowa. “This network expansion brings fast 4G LTE speeds to additional parts of Nebraska, and we will continue to provide our customers the best-in-class network, devices and technology that gives them access to experiences that enrich their lives.”
