Edinburg, Va. — June 29, 2009 — Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (Shentel), a Sprint PCS affiliate of Sprint Nextel, announced today the addition of a new antenna designed to enhance and expand broadband mobile network coverage in York County. The new cell site at 16 College Avenue went online Friday, June 5th, giving businesses and residents of Stewartstown access to the power of Sprint, America’s most dependable 3G network.
