Honolulu, HI—Mobi PCS has enhanced its 3G CDMA network with the activation of a new cell site in Orchidland on the Big Island.



The site addition strengthens coverage throughout Orchidland, as well as between Pahoa and Keeau. It also provides enhanced in-building coverage throughout the Orchidland Estates residential area.



Mobi PCS will deploy some 20 new cell sites across the state in 2009.



The local carrier is committed to site additions as part of its continued effort to optimize its statewide 3G CDMA network and ensure a continued high rate of customer satisfaction. The network enhancements allow Mobi customers to use their unlimited voice and data services with fewer dropped calls and clearer in-building and outdoor reception.



Even prior to these network enhancements, an independent QMark Research survey revealed a 97 percent satisfaction rate among Mobi PCS customers.



Mobi’s 3G CDMA network handles an average of 1.5 to 2 million calls per day, with dropped-call rates of less than 0.8 percent on Oahu – well-below the industry standard and the only dropped-call rate published by any Hawaii carrier.



The company will continue with aggressive network expansion statewide throughout 2009 and 2010 as part of its commitment to customer satisfaction.
