Four new towers complete; seven additional planned for 2022

Crivitz, WI (June 27, 2022) – Local wireless provider Cellcom is continuing its investment in Marinette County. Cellcom activated four cell sites in the county this spring, with new sites at the town hall in Crivitz, on the south side of Lake Noquebay, in the town of Grover along Highway 64, and in the town of Porterfield near the intersection of County Highway E and Highway 64. This expands coverage areas and add capacity for a better experience with data applications and increased connections during busy tourism times.

“These new cell sites help fill coverage gaps and strengthen LTE service, which is the technology that powers internet service on your smartphone and more recently became the service that you use to make calls and send texts,” said Rick Brooks, CTO and VP of Engineering for Cellcom. “As demand for data services continues to increase, new cell sites also help move users off high-traffic sites, which helps improve everyone’s experience.”

Additional improvements are planned through the rest of the year in other areas, including sites in Athelstane, near downtown Marinette, south of Marinette along County Highway B, west of Marinette along Highway 64, between Marinette and Peshtigo along Highway 41, and in Stephenson both near County Highway P and County Highway W and on Parkway Road near Cauldron Falls.   

“As the only wireless provider local to Wisconsin, we know that rural areas are some of the most popular destinations for our customers. Investing in these rural communities is a priority for Cellcom,” said Brooks. “Cell sites take months of planning and implementation and supply chain delays have stretched timelines a bit, but we continue to push to complete these projects and are already planning ahead for future years.”

In addition to network enhancements, customers can take advantage of Wi-Fi Calling. This technology allows users to make calls and send texts and picture messages over a Wi-Fi connection. It’s helpful in fringe coverage areas and does not require a high-speed connection to utilize. Learn more about this service at www.cellcom.com/wificalling.

Event has donated more than $1.7 million in its 23-year history

Green Bay, WI (February 23, 2022) – Runners are gearing up to take part in the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon on May 21, 2023 as the nonprofit event continues its mission to give back to the community. The nonprofit event has selected Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, New Community Shelter and Greater Green Bay YMCA as its 2023 charity partners.

“The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon encourages wellness, boosts tourism and fosters community spirit with our sponsors and volunteers. Coming together for race weekend also makes a difference for local nonprofits. We’re able to share the mission of our charity partners with our participants and ultimately give back to programs that improve our community,” said Dr. Ashok Rai, president and CEO of Prevea Health and board president of the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon.

In addition to event proceeds, charity partners benefit from the Run for a Reason program, which allows runners to raise funds for the charity partners to earn a free entry into the marathon, half marathon or relay. Participants raise $300 to receive a free entry for an individual event or $300 per team member for a relay event.

Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin believes that access to nutritious food is a right for all. They work to fight hunger for the one in eight people who do not know where their next meal is coming from. The organization serves neighbors across 35 counties and supports nearly 400 local pantries in that footprint. Proceeds from the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon will be used to further these efforts.

New Community Shelter helps the homeless and the hungry through its emergency shelter, transitional living program and community meal program. The organization believes in offering support services to access other community resources necessary for achieving self-sufficiency. Proceeds from the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon will be used for the community meal program, which provides dinner to anyone in need in the community 365 days a year.

Greater Green Bay YMCA is dedicated to strengthening the community and being a place where all belong. The Y focuses on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Donations from the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon will support the Y’s community-based afterschool programs by providing expanded enrichment opportunities, social emotional learning programs and academic resources to lift up our young people during these incredibly important out-of-school times.

Over the past 23 years, the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon has generated more than $1.7 million in proceeds for local charities. To learn more or to register, visit www.cellcomgreenbaymarathon.com.
