VZW acquires Ramcell

Verizon Wireless purchased the operating assets of Ramcell in Kentucky and Oregon for an undisclosed sum.
The nation’s No. 2 carrier picked up Ramcell’s 51 cell sites as well as spectrum licenses that cover nearly 600,000 potential customers in the Kentucky markets of Clay and Madison and Coos, Ore. Verizon Wireless said it will convert Ramcell’s TDMA network in Kentucky to CDMA technology and will enhance the existing CDMA network in Oregon.
Ramcell closed its retail operations in both states several weeks ago, but the company apparently will continue to operate its remaining market in North Carolina. RBC Daniels represented Ramcell in the transaction.
