Western Wireless (NASDAQ: WWCA) has emerged as one of the leading wireless communications providers in the United States. The company's mission is to provide quality wireless service that is both affordable and reliable.
Western Wireless won Personal Communication Services (PCS) licenses for 100 new markets through the Federal Communication Commission's D and E auctions, and an additional seven markets in the F-block auction through its partnership with Cook Inlet PCS. The company's strategy is to offer the optimum technology for a particular geographical area. Today, Western Wireless, based in Bellevue, Wash., owns combined cellular and PCS licenses covering approximately 59 percent of the continental United States.
Western Wireless is committed to becoming the premier wireless communication service provider with a focus on:
Quality: Providing high-quality technical, sales, administrative and service expertise.
Growth: Dedication to expanding the business through superior systems, aggressive selling, prudent acquisitions and excellent customer care.
Profitability: Commitment to delivering an outstanding return on investment to shareholders by providing superior products to its customers, earning customer loyalty and operating with an entrepreneurial spirit.
One company, two sides of the business
Cellular: Western Wireless provides cellular service marketed under the Cellular One® national brand in 17 western states. Since being introduced in the early 1980s, cellular has been the most popular choice for wireless communications – today, approximately 20% of all Americans own a cellular telephone. Cellular is particularly well-suited for rural areas which are not subject to congestion and interference.
PCS: Western Wireless currently offers PCS services marketed under the VoiceStream® Wireless brand in 11 states. All-digital PCS is ideal for urban areas and offers the same wireless convenience of cellular, but has an expanded range of services, including paging, email, fax, and voicemail, all in a device small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. |
